LIVERPOOL (Reuters) -Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said winning the Premier League title was an achievement the club would never take for granted after the Merseysiders thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 5-1 to secure a 20th top-flight crown in front of a roaring Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool's victory gave Arne Slot's side an unassailable 15-point lead over second-placed Arsenal with four games left in the season as they clinched the title for only the second time in the Premier League era.
