Slot thanks Klopp moments after Liverpool win title

Liverpool manager Arne Slot paid tribute to his predecessor Jurgen Klopp moments after his side won the Premier League title.

Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 at Anfield on Sunday to clinch a record-equalling 20th top flight title, with Slot becoming the first Dutch coach to win the Premier League.

"It feels great. I don't think I want to say a lot. The only thing now is to send my appreciation to Jurgen Klopp," Slot, who replaced Klopp as Liverpool manager last summer, told LFCTV.

The 46-year-old immediately launched into a rendition of the song Klopp asked Liverpool fans to sing after his final game last May, but replaced the lyrics 'Arne Slot' with 'Jurgen Klopp'.

"The work Jurgen [Klopp] and Pep [Lijnders] did - the culture, work-rate, quality - was outstanding. We started [the season] really well and maybe it helped that [Manchester] City had a difficult spell that they have not had in five years."
