Reds cannot let Trent reaction overshadow their title celebrations

ANYONE searching for a clue as to the actual scoreline here at full time of this rip-roaring, top-of-the-table clash would not have found help from the giant Anfield scoreboard.

Rather than tell us it fin-ished Liverpool 2-2 Arsenal, the screens instead immedi-ately opted to remind us, if it was needed, that Arne Slot's side are in fact Premier League champions.

It's been an inescapable fact for the past fortnight and one that will grate on Arsenal more than any club, given it is they who have been the closest challengers.

For the second Sunday in a row, Liverpool dropped points and the fact they still remain a comfortable 15 points clear of their nearest rivals only fur-ther illustrates just how domi-nant a campaign it has been.

With six still left to play for, it is still in the hands of Slot and players to ensure they secure the crown by the widest mar-gin recorded in the Premier League era. It currently stands at 19, set by Manchester City's centurions of 2018.

Given there is little else left to play for, Arne Slot and his team might as well go all out to secure another slice of history and if the Reds head coach is insistent that everything that happens now is done with a view towards next season, it would be fitting that the cham-pions finish with a flourish.

At times here, it looked as though they were going to blow away the Gunners.
