00:00Full time here at Anfield, the last game of the season, there's still plenty of celebrations going on because Liverpool officially got their hands on the Premier League trophy today, about to wait four weeks for it, it's been a month long celebration and now it's going to be a 48 hour party because the parade's going on tomorrow, there's plenty of celebrations going on still around Anfield, I was having to kick off.
00:24It ends a 1-1 draw, against Crystal Palace, not too many people, but too bob as I've offered the result to me prank, Liverpool pretty flat in the first half, Hal still came through his mail-assar, in the 90 minutes, Liverpool had a public chance of doing it, he has, people wide, as I can say, why the Palace keep doing anything.
00:49And then Liverpool, at the half time, they brought some talent, Alexander-Arnold, now I think quite a lot of people weren't voting, but I'm not taught to be a second, he was going to get on his fairway game, because he's going to move to the ground, as it is.
01:03Because two weeks ago, when he came up against Arsenal, the first game after the ground, he was in contact, he was moved by Chelsea's court, and now I can hear one boo today from a moment, his name was read out on the team sheet,
01:21and he came up on the bench, he was on the bench, he was in boots, and he was cheered when he was on the ball, and what a difference he made, I think, what a farewell performance, because I think that was a quintessential Trent Alexander-Arnold, of course, they just passed, it was,
01:41yeah, Dana Slott described it as a mumbley, and coming on what a leveller was, and Liverpool had to wait, to get the leveller, they had Ryan Graham there, sent off for a professional fire, and he stopped a goal-scoring opportunity in his team,
01:59he'll actually have to start the next season now, but Liverpool, with 10 men, a short result, a short fight, fans behind him, and it was Mo Salah, it was the 29th goal of the season, there's 47 goal contributing this season, moving leveller with balance-sharing, and Andy Cole, in a Premier League season, on 47,
02:19crossed from the box, into the box, into the box, from Darwin Nunes, headed back across the ball, quite intelligently, from Cody Gaffo, rather than going for the ball himself, and there was Salah, to fire home,
02:31it was deserved, probably a throw on the balance thing, was right, but everyone, from the moment, they've set off to our ramp, we've just been waiting for the celebration,
02:42I've seen it, tightly lifted, for the first time, in person, since 1919, that's what Virgil van Dijk did, and the party's still going on now, it's going to go on longer to the night,
02:54it's going to go on until Monday, because the parade, the trophy's going to be paraded around the city, a magnificent season for Liverpool,
03:03I don't think anyone predicted, they'd be in this position, this time last year, you clocked the even, Arna Slot, and Helst's name coming in,
03:13didn't make any signings, by Federico Chiesa, who proved to be a bit part of the player,
03:19but what a season for Liverpool, that Arna Slot delivers, and planning very much on next season now,
03:27Jeremy Frink on, closing in on move, the pool front runners, to sign Florian Waiters inside,
03:33as things stand, Milos Kierkez from Bournemouth, on the radar, Arna Slot said, both match press conference,
03:42ideally, he'd like to get his business done early, that's what every manager would like,
03:47for good players, sometimes you have to wait, wait for them, and he also hints, there might be some departs as well,
03:53there might be players who didn't play a lot, who asked to leave, so, it's going to be a busy summer,
03:57I think Arna Slot's playing it down a little bit, he said, it's not going to be map, there are going to be additions,
04:02I think there will be a few, I mean, Sanna Waiters, will Liverpool go and get a striker now,
04:07that's an interesting one, it's going to be a significant financial outlay, if they do sign Florian Waiters,
04:13by a Leverkusen, and we've all, they want nothing, just a 25-26 million pound-point waste,
04:18that would smash Liverpool's transfer records, but there will be outgoings as well,
04:24it's going to offset some of those, Darwin Nunez, it's about to move on,
04:29V Callaghan, keep their players, fringe players, what it's fair to me,
04:33but what to see you do in the summer, but for now, it's all about the title celebrating,
04:39you'll see the Army fans still celebrating,
04:43in the droves, and you will be, as I say,
04:45until tomorrow night, when the trophy is paraded around the city,
04:52hundreds of thousands of people are going to turn out,
04:56but the final day of the season, I want Montauly's Palace,
05:00no one cares, because the Premier League trophy was lifted aloft,
05:04by Virgil van Dijk,
05:06and Liverpool are Premier League champions.
