# OTD: Liverpool lifted the Premier League for the first time in 30 years

On this day (July 22) in 2020, [Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/22/virals-jurgen-klopp-shares-moment-with-ben-davies-ahead-of-debut/) ended a 30-year wait for a domestic top-flight title by lifting the Premier League in Kop at Anfield.

Having come [close on numerous occasions](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48165997) beforehand, the Reds were not to be denied on this occasion, despite the best efforts of a global pandemic bringing the world to a standstill.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had dominated the rest of the league during an all-conquering campaign and were rightly crowned champions following a resounding [5-3 victory](https://www.premierleague.com/match/46968) over Chelsea.

Due to the restrictions in place, [Jordan Henderson](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/07/19/virals-james-pearce-claims-uncertainty-over-jordan-hendersons-future/) was allowed to [raise the trophy aloft](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11669/12034042/liverpool-lift-premier-league-trophy-champions-celebrate-on-kop-at-anfield-after-win-over-chelsea) in amongst where the heartland of Kopites would normally watch on.

Back in the present day, Klopp and the rest of the [squad are in Austria](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/438497-inside-pre-season-behind-the-scenes-of-reds-opening-austria-friendlies) preparing for another title at the title in 2021/22 having relinquished their grip last term.

A day and a moment that will live long in the memory of every Liverpool fan.

Albeit far from the circumstances many Reds would’ve dreamt of, the side had [earned their opportunity to celebrate](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8454785/Pieces-place-Liverpool-dominate-English-football-years-come.html) time and time again during that season.

Now all associated with the club will be hoping for another chance to do it all over again next May – this time in [more familiar](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/return-of-supporters-to-anfield) surroundings.
