The Merseyside giant's title win could not have come during a stranger season as the coronavirus pandemic ensured fans were prohibited from joining the Liverpool title celebrations inside Anfield.

Admittedly, not everyone was clear on each line of the song but it didn't stifle the emotion that came with singing the "You'll Never Walk Alone" chorus.

The Liverpool title celebrations had already gotten their fireworks off when Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Georginio Wijnaldum all scored stunning goals in the first half. Olivier Giroud pulled one back for the visitors before half-time but Roberto Firmino restored Liverpool's three-goal lead in the second half. Substitutes Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic nearly pulled off a dramatic comeback but Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal just five minutes before full-time ensured the win for the hosts. The 5-3 win at Anfield was a fitting culmination to a season that has seen the Reds register wins against every side in the league while also paying ode to the roller-coaster heavy-metal brand of football that was seen in Jurgen Klopp's first few seasons in charge.
