Liverpool FC wins first Premier League in 30 years

Liverpool fans are celebrating after the club won the English Premier League title for the first time in 30 years.

Liverpool supporters flocked to Anfield to show their joy at the team’s success, despite social-distancing rules and restrictions on public gatherings because of the pandemic.

Within half an hour of the result about 2,000 fans had gathered outside the club’s stadium, with some celebrating outside the famous Kop stand.

It is Liverpool’s 19th top-flight title and their first since 1989-90.

Liverpool secured the title after second-placed Manchester City lost 2-1 to Chelsea in London, meaning Liverpool could not be caught with a 23-point lead over City with seven games remaining.
