Liverpool rounded off their Anfield campaign in style after beating Chelsea 5-3 shortly before their trophy ceremony.

Supporters weren’t allowed inside the famous stadium but fireworks could be heard throughout the contest.

There were some pretty memorable moments on the pitch too.

Goals from Naby Keita, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Gini Wijnaldum, Roberto Firmino and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain completed the victory.

Olivier Giroud, Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic ensured the game remained competitive for large parts.

The 2019/20 campaign might have finished in bizarre style, with supporters absence from games, but it’s been one to remember for Liverpool.

It will go down in their eyes as the season they finally got their hands on the Premier League title.

The aim for Jurgen Klopp now is to ensure this isn’t a flash in the pan and continue the legacy of silverware.

Last night it was once again Naby Keita who caught the eye for Klopp’s men and he continues to impress.

His opening goal crashed in off the underside of the bar and set the tone for a Liverpool win.

The Reds’ £120k-a-week ace was instrumental in midfield and following the game, supporters reacted to his performance.

Here is a selection of tweets regarding the performance of Keita as he scored his fourth goal of the season.

Keita played his best game in a Liverpool shirt.

Liverpool have Keita, wijnaldum, Fabinho and Henderson, these are strong and technically good players with defensive nous

Keita should better remain fit. He's going to be a very important cog in the machine next season

Even in their holiday mood, Liverpool are terrifying to watch. The most scary part is they can improve even more.

It took him awhile but Keita because of injuries but way he glides past players, his close control and closing down of opponents is immense. He’s such a Klopp player

Naby Keita set the tempo with that classy strike and played well overall

5-3 whoa what a performance absolutely blockbuster. That was our best performance after COVID break. What a goal by Keita and Arnold absolutely pitch of a goal, but gutted for Alisson not getting a clean sheet. YNWA

Naby Keïta is such a special footballer. Whenever he starts Liverpool score and Liverpool win.
