The title is Liverpool’s 19th and their first since the 1989-90 season, when they won the First Division under Kenny Dalglish.
“I’m very pleased for everybody connected with the football club,” Dalglish told Sky Sports. “Jurgen has done a fantastic job. The highlight has been the camaraderie within the team and the way everyone has helped the team. Last night’s game was a huge example of that.
“They played with tempo and never gave Crystal Palace time on the ball. It’s the whole feeling within the club. You do not win anything without a great dressing room, and they have that.”
Liverpool’s principal owner John W Henry saluted his team’s “season for the ages”.
He tweeted: “It has been an incredible year of magnificent achievement culminating tonight in capturing the Premier League title.
“The totality of this accomplishment has brought respite and joy to so many in a year filled with so much tragedy.
“Liverpool has made the beautiful game more beautiful than ever.”
