Finally, Liverpool are Premier League champions.

Having needed just a point to clinch a second title in five years, the Reds absolutely destroyed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at home on Sunday afternoon with strikes from Luis Diaz, Alexis Mac Allister, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah and an own goal by Destiny Udogie.

Arne Slot's side are now an unassailable 15 points clear at the top of the table with four games remaining and have claimed a record-equalling 20th championship.

But there was plenty that went unnoticed or under the radar during the 90 minutes at Anfield...

Alisson elated

The wild celebrations that continued on the pitch and in the stands a long, long time after the final whistle were difficult to keep up with.

But there was one instance that said everything about the collective spirit that has helped earn Liverpool the title.

As the Reds players celebrated in front of the Kop, the nearby ball assistants - who are all younger members of the club's Academy - loitered by the goal, unsure of whether they were able to join in with the party.

The decision was taken for them, though, when Alisson Becker and Andy Robertson bounced around in front of the group of gathered youngsters, who readily accepted the green light to mob their heroes before several more Liverpool players followed suit.

We all know what happened next.

And the thunderous shot that put the Reds ahead was struck so well that Cody Gakpo, stood nearby, was left with his head in his hands in disbelief at the strike.

Meanwhile, Mac Allister proved a cheeky one post-match when he threw an Argentina flag in the direction of Alisson., the Brazilian goalkeeper quickly removing the garment to laughter all round.

There's a line, Alexis...

Richarlison the balloon

Few players embrace the role of pantomime villain quite like Richarlison.

Jeered by the home crowd on his introduction from the bench, the former Everton striker later became involved in a spat with Harvey Elliott for which both players were booked.

And he was the target of further derision from the Anfield faithful when he went out of his way to burst an inflatable Premier League trophy that had floated on to the pitch.

To be fair, balloons did become an issue during the closing stages with referee Thomas Bramall at one point having to bring play back because one had struck the ball and distracted Tottenham goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
