It sets Kewell up beautifully! He bares down on goal, dribbles past Given, slides it into the open net! 3-0!! His fifth of the season!

Min 51 - Subs: Garcia, Kewell and Cisse off. Mycklebust, Welsh and Partridge on.
Min 53 - Biscan finds Esposito out right with a great pass, Esposito dribbles past Elliot, crosses for Mycklebust, headed away from O'Brien, Esposito heads it to Hamann outside the box, he curls it towards goal! But Given is equal to it!

Liverpool Seal Title At Carrow Road
Sunday 6th March 2005

I decided to rest some players even in this game since the next was against Bremen and i needed some rested players. Traore, Pellegrino, Josemi, Biscan, Welsh and Partridge start against 20th placed Norwich in a match between top and bottom that could decided both fates.

PRE MATCH INTERVIEW

Daniel, today could be the day you seal the title and it looks as if this will be the day.
On paper yes, in my mind yes, in the fans minds yes and I think even the Norwich players know were going to win.

Worthington has backed you to seal it here and even said he is grateful that there could be a big party in Norwich tonight.
I understand that Nigel's task today is a big ask but I'm not at all envious of his task to keep Norwich up even thou I could of probably managed it.

Not a full team today, is it full concentration on Bremen in the week?
You could say that, we need to be fit for that match since it's very important to win the Champions League.

First Half
Min 7 - Partridge heads a ball down to Welsh, he finds Gerrard outside the box, he test's Green from 25 yards with a curling shot! Good save by the Norwich keeper!
Min 10 - Welsh has the ball past the halfway line, he passes down the right for Partridge, he gets to the byline crosses into the box, Cisse is free on goal! Tame shot and easily saved by Green.
Min 16 - Helveg knicks the ball off Riise, passes down the line for Jonson, he crosses into the box, header by Safri! Well wide..
Min 21 - Pellegrino's free kick goes to Traore, he finds Gerrard upfield, he backtracks, finds Biscan centrally, he passes one touch to Riise on the left, he finds Cisse in the box with a cross, header by Cisse! Wide!
Min 28 - Josemi heads the ball clear to Cisse, he runs upfield with the ball, he finds Riise on the left, he crosses to Partrige on the other side of the penalty box, hit on the half volley by Partridge! Horrible effort.. It almost hits the cornor flag.
Min 29 - GOAL! Well.. Everyone was just waiting for it and it came. Traore passes back to Dudek, he hits it long, Cisse wins a header against Helveg,heads down to Welsh and runs forward, Welsh troughs it to Cisse who's free on goal, bares down on Green, Norwich defenders chasing him, he rounds Green easily, slots it into the back of the net, 1-0!
Min 37 - Jonson has the ball on the right, passes to Francis infield, lays off for McKenzie, he back heels back to Francis, he shoots from distance! Deflects off Hyypia! But easily saved by Dudek.

Second Half
Halftime sub, Partridge comes off for Le Tallec.
Min 46 - GOAL!! Traore cuts out a pass, heads down to Riise, he one two's with Gerrard, finds Cisse down the left flank, he dribbles along the byline, hits it near post, header by Welsh! 2-0!! It's surely in the bag now!
Min 57 - Subs: Cisse and Riise off, Morientes and Finnan on.
Min 58 - Le Tallec has a free kick on the left. He lines it up, strikes it! But it went wide and high over the bar.
Min 79 - Josemi has the ball on the right, finds Finnan on the left edge of the box, he strikes it back to the right flank for Josemi, he goes ot the byline, cut back to Welsh outside the area, shoots from range! Wide!
Min 86 - Welsh gathers up the ball, finds Biscan behind him, Biscan passes out right for Le Tallec, he brings it down well, strikes it towards goal! Well over the bar!
That's It! Liverpool Are The Premiership Winners!

The whole team come onto the pitch, some wearing suits others still in their match kits. They walk over to the travelling Liverpool fans and start spraying champagne, throwing their kit into the crowd. I walk over to Worthington and shake his hand, he told me a qiuck congratulations and I told him good luck in keeping Norwich up even thou this win made it look very bleak for them. Before joining my players I shook the hands of the Norwich players and thanked them for a good game and then it was time to join in the party!

The players, staff and fans were all one on this particular day. The thought that I put Liverpool back on the map was in my mind but the FA Cup and Champions League were still looming around in the back of my mind. The League cup and League were only half of what I wanted. I wanted European domination and leave this club like a steady Yacht on the Atlantic and not an illusion of a giant which easily could be punchered and sunk, like the Titanic.

POST MATCH INTERVIEW

Congratulations, you are premiership champions 2005
Thank you, it feels great and a relief that we finally did it and now can concentrate fully on the FA and Champions Cup.

It was 15 years ago last Liverpool won it and now it's the 19th time Liverpool won it and still hold the most league wins
Yes this club has got great history and what we achieve only adds to it but now everyone can see that this team means business.

make sure you bring that European Trophy back to England
Don't worry, the cup will come and stay at Liverpool
