Liverpool fans flood Anfield as The Reds win 1st Premier League title in 30 years

Liverpool's 30-year English title drought ended on Thursday as they were confirmed as Premier League champions courtesy of second-placed Manchester City's 2-1 loss at Chelsea.

The result at Stamford Bridge means Liverpool have an unassailable 23-point lead over City with seven games left.

Liverpool were last champions of England when they won the old First Division title in 1989-90 after which a decline in fortunes saw Manchester United and Arsenal, then Chelsea and Manchester City seize power.

Manager Juergen Klopp has rekindled the Anfield flame though and delivered the club's 19th title, one behind arch-rivals United's record of 20, after finishing runners-up to City in a thrilling title race last season.
