Amazing and emotional scenes at Anfield unfolded just after the kickoff between the champions Liverpool and Champions League fighting Chelsea.

What a matchup for anybody watching in. An eight-goal thriller with the final score 5-3 to the home side on their night of celebrations, where they finally get to lift their English pride and joy, the Premier League trophy.

It was an action-packed 90 minutes of football inside the famous and normally raucous Anfield Stadium. Liverpool thought they were home and away with the three points in the bag after being up by three goals to zero before the 43rd minute of the first half.

Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Georginio Wijnaldum all put their name on the scorecard. Two of the goals were top draw and the third an opportunistic goal.

Not long after the third goal and before the halftime break, Mr reliable, Olivier Giroud came to the party in added time and got one back for Chelsea. His goal shifted the momentum of the game in the visitors’ favour and with a couple of smart changes, Lampard’s got themselves back in it.

Goals from substitutes, Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic would bring the Blues within touching distance from either stealing a point, all of them altogether. However, the Reds will equal to the answer at Anfield and stuck in another two goals by Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, which were the final nails in the coffin before the closing whistle was blown.

It was truly an amazing watch for all. Some bad defending allowed for an extremely open game and end-to-action. Lampard must now only pick up a point from their final outing on the final day of this long-standing and long-running campaign.

Liverpool’s final game at St. James Park might be treated with some young Reds taking the pitch, so could there be some young Magpies getting the nod from Steve Bruce. Both clubs have achieved everything they needed to this season and are free to experiment with their respective squads.

Here are the reactions from the rest of the world after Liverpool’s manager, skipper, and players got to lift the title after 30 years. The club, the players, and ex-Reds are enjoying every bit of it!

One has to ask… Did the law, the league, and the club really believe the fans were staying at home? Leeds couldn’t resist after their 16-year wait. Liverpool’s delay was even longer, 30 years. A 30-year wait is a long one.

Again, to end proceedings, some wise words from the league-winning manager Jurgen Klopp. Easily put and appears to feel the same as all of us stuck in lockdown or some situation after the pandemic.
