Liverpool secured a first top-flight title in 30 years on Thursday night as Manchester City’s reign came to an end with defeat at Chelsea.
Here we pick out some memorable moments from an unforgettable season for Jurgen Klopp’s Reds.
Blistering start
Liverpool, fresh from being crowned European champions, began the season in emphatic fashion by thrashing newly-promoted Norwich 4-1 at Anfield.

Lallana strikes late

Derby demolition

A year undefeated

Rivals ripped apart
“We’re going to win the league” rang around a raucous Anfield after Mohamed Salah ripped off his shirt to celebrate securing victory over Manchester United in January.

Henderson’s relish
