Comments:

League position: 1st The following evening, due to Manchester City failing to win their game at Chelsea, Liverpool were confirmed as champions of the Premier League for the first time and English league champions for the 19th time (first since 1989-90). Although no team had won the league so late in the year, the Reds created top division history by clinching the title with seven games still to play; two more games than the previous record (four times) most recently achieved by Manchester City in 2017-18. This became Liverpool's 48th major trophy but the 30-year gap (11,016 days) since their last league title involved five runners-up seasons, eight permanent managers and 1,151 league games. They extended their top division record to 23 consecutive home wins (scored 67 goals and conceded 15). In their 50th game of 2019-20, Liverpool had now scored more than 100 goals in all competitions for a third consecutive season; the first time they have done so since 1986-87 (eight in a row). Sadio Mané became the tenth player to score in six consecutive appearances in the Premier League against the same opposing club and the second for the Reds after Mohamed Salah against AFC Bournemouth.

Comments:

League position: 9th This was Crystal Palace’s heaviest defeat since they lost 4-0 at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on 14 September 2019. Palace had won each of their preceding four games in the Premier League so failed in their attempt to equal their club record of five consecutive wins in the division, set in December 1992 and April 2014. Jordan Ayew became the 34th player to make 50 appearances for the Eagles in the Premier League. Palace had now conceded 600 goals in the Premier League (played 419, scored 453). Crystal Palace named eight of a possible nine substitutes.
