Nothing can dampen the party spirit as supporters finally get to see Reds lift the trophy

A 1-1 draw and a red card could not dampen spirits at Anfield as fans refused to allow anything spoil them seeing Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy in person for the first time.

And Mohamed Salah equalled the Premier League record of most goal involvements in a season with an 84th-minute leveller.

And to prove the occasion was all about celebration even the tearful departing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was jeered on his last appearance at Anfield, was welcomed back into the fold.

Supporters, some who were still maybe not prepared to forgive, at least ensured the defender's 354th and final appearance after a 20-year association with his boyhood club did not end on a sour note.

The words of former manager Jurgen Klopp on Friday, back at Anfield for the first time a year after leaving, saying fans were wrong in their treatment of the player succeeded in cutting through the noise surrounding his pending move for Real Madrid.

That indicates the spell the German can still cast over a fanbase who still worship him after a successful nine-year reign.
