Where the Premier League title was won for Liverpool | OneFootball

Liverpool are champions of England again after winning the Premier League title in 2024/25.

The Reds have been the league’s best side from almost start to finish, exceeded all expectations to win the Premier League in Arne Slot’s debut season in charge.

The Dutchman’s side are deserving champions and we’ve looked back at the fixtures that defined their title success.

The defining games in Liverpool’s Premier League title success

Manchester United 0-3 Liverpool, 1st September 2024

September’s trip to Manchester United was billed as the first real test for Arne Slot, following his strong start at Liverpool. After consecutive wins over Ipswich Town and Brentford without conceding, Liverpool made it maximum points after three games with an emphatic win at Old Trafford.

Slot’s side outclassed compatriot Erik ten Hag’s meek Manchester United in a slick performance against their arch-rivals. Liverpool saw a Trent Alexander-Arnold effort ruled out for offside, before the visitors ruthlessly punished two slack errors from Casemiro. Luis Diaz struck twice in quick succession just before half-time as Casemiro twice squandered possession.

Mohamed Salah put the seal on the win after 56 minutes, scoring his 12th goal in 15 appearances against Manchester United. Notice served.

Liverpool 2-0 Manchester City, 1st December 2024

Liverpool’s rivalry with Manchester City has defined the Premier League in recent seasons, with fixtures between the two often decisive at the top end of the table.

Slot’s side put a struggling City side to the sword at Anfield in early December, as goals from Cody Gakpo and Mo Salah inflicted a fourth straight defeat on the collapsing champions. Liverpool’s dominant display took the Reds nine points clear at the top of the Premier League – their biggest lead in the division since last winning the title in 2019/20.

Liverpool 2-2 Fulham, 4th December 2024

Few title-winning seasons come without moments of adversity. Liverpool’s draw at home to Fulham in December might have seen them drop points – but it was a performance that suggested the Reds had the makings of champions.

Liverpool twice fell behind to the visitors and played for 89 minutes with 10 men – including stoppage time – after Andy Robertson’s red card. Andreas Pereira had already fired Fulham in front by the time Robertson was dismissed for a last-man challenge in the 17th minute.

Cody Gakpo equalised just seconds after the restart but Rodrigo Muniz’s flick looked to have earned Fulham the points. Liverpool, however, were not to be denied. Diogo Jota came off the bench to rescue the Reds with a smartly-taken equaliser on 86 minutes.

“Credit to them, it didn’t feel like they had 10 men at all,” Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson said.

“They took a lot of risks pushing men high and they were rewarded for it. They piled the pressure on and were really positive.”

Brentford 0-2 Liverpool, 18th January 2025

The closest Liverpool came to a mini-wobble in their title pursuit came at the turn of the year, when a frustrating afternoon at Brentford looked like dropped points for the third straight game.

Having been held by Manchester United and Nottingham Forest in successive weeks, Liverpool looked set for another afternoon to forget. Liverpool dominated throughout but were unable to find a route through a stubborn Brentford defence.

Enter: Darwin Nunez.

The Uruguayan’s time with Liverpool has failed to ignite but he delivered in a big moment in West London. On as a substitute, Nunez netted twice in stoppage time to snatch victory. First, he met a low cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold to break the deadlock on 91 minutes, before rounding off a clinical counter-attack just moments later. A first league win of 2025 was secured with Nunez the hero of the hour.

Manchester City 0-2 Liverpool, 23rd February 2025

Manchester City might not be the force of old this season but a visit to Eastlands is rarely an easy encounter. Liverpool had not won a league game at Manchester City in almost a decade when Slot’s side took apart the champions in February.

The league leaders proved they have versatility in their ability to win games. Liverpool’s 33.9 percent possession was their lowest in a Premier League victory on record (since 2003/04) but the Reds never looked in trouble.

Mo Salah scored his 16th away goal of the Premier League campaign – equalling the record for a single season – to open the scoring, before Dominik Szoboszlai doubled the lead before the break. City had plenty of the ball, but could do little to hurt the visitors.

Liverpool 2-1 West Ham, 13th April 2025

Liverpool’s league title had looked a procession for a long time but the Reds were required to dig deep against West Ham in April.

Three defeats in four games across all competitions had seen Liverpool’s treble dream unravel, as Slot’s side exited the Champions League and lost the Carabao Cup final to Newcastle. A league defeat at Fulham further increased the noise around a side running out of steam, with their win over West Ham unconvincing but utterly important.

Luis Diaz put Liverpool ahead in a lively first half performance but the hosts regressed at Anfield. The second half saw West Ham grow into the game and the East Londoners were rewarded for their effort. A mix-up between Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson resulted in the latter scoring an own goal, handing West Ham an 86th-minute equaliser.

Robertson berated his captain for the mistake but Van Dijk atoned for his error moments later. The Dutch defender rose to meet an 89th-minute corner and put Liverpool back on track for the title. Two weeks later, their success was sealed.
