Liverpool are the new Premier League champions.

The Reds have finally ended their 30-year wait for a top-flight title after Manchester City were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.

Following Liverpool’s 4-0 win against Crystal Palace, the Reds needed one victory to seal the league. However, City’s failure to win against the Blues means Liverpool cannot be caught.

Popular football pundit and former England striker Gary Lineker took to social networking site Twitter to express his reaction after the final whistle.

Congratulations to @LFC. No team has won the Premier League so early in the season. No team has won the Premier League so late in the year. A wonderful achievement by a magnificent team. True champions. Well played.
