Due to the defeat of Manchester City’s direct competitor in the match against Chelsea (1: 2), Liverpool’s advantage over the rivals remained at 23 points, which allowed the Reds to secure a champion title seven rounds before the end of the championship.
This is a new league record. Previously, the best achievement belonged to Manchester City and Manchester United, who won the Premier League five rounds before the end of the season in 2018 and 2001, respectively.
Earlier, Liverpool fans began celebrating the club’s championship at Anfield.
