THE noise was just overwhelming at the final whistle.
Liverpool's jubilant fans stood to salute their heroes after a remarkable, thumping and di defining victory.
They had surely witnessed the coronation of the new champions.
Arne Slot's men are nine points clear at the top of the Premier League table and, perhaps even more significantly, they are 11 ahead of Manchester City.
There can be no way back from here for City. And it would take an almighty collapse and a three-game swing-on Liverpool's part to blow it from here.
Liverpool not only humiliated City, they also proved they are streets ahead of the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea. They are Europe's inform team and City were just swallowed up at Anfield.
City looked shell-shocked by it all, completely overwhelmed and overrun on what was a seismic day in the title race.
Pep Guardiola's crown is slipping it is the first time the City boss has lost four consecutive league matches in his managerial career.
