His celebration, a tribute to Brazilian legend Kaka, perfectly capped off a historic afternoon for the Reds under manager Arne Slot.

With the Premier League title within touching distance, Cody Gakpo rose to the occasion in stunning fashion for The Reds. Needing a point to seal the title, Liverpool had just turned the match on its head after Dominic Solanke's early strike threatened to crash the party.

Quickfire goals from Luis Diaz and Alexis Mac Allister had already given Liverpool the lead, but it was Gakpo’s composed finish inside the box that really turned Anfield into a sea of roaring red.

After Spurs failed to clear a corner, Gakpo pounced on the loose ball, danced past two defenders, and calmly slotted it into the bottom corner with his right foot.

The Dutch forward then tore off his shirt to reveal a white vest with the iconic message, "I belong to Jesus". The same celebration made famous by Brazil legend Kaka during the Selecao’s 2002 World Cup win and again after AC Milan’s 2007 Champions League triumph over Liverpool.

With an eventual dominant 5-1 win over Tottenham, Liverpool sealed their second Premier League title in five years, ending four years of Manchester City dominance.

This also marks their 20th First Division title overall, drawing them level with fierce rivals Manchester United for the most top-flight championships in English football.

Mohamed Salah added to the tally after Gakpo’s strike, and an unfortunate own goal from Destiny Udogie put the final flourish on a perfect afternoon at Anfield.

In just his first season, Slot has succeeded in doing what most managers dream of: winning the Premier League on his first try, matching the likes of Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, and Manuel Pellegrini in a very exclusive club.
