Gary Lineker and Henry Hunter react to Anfield banner put up ahead of Liverpool clash with Aston Villa

Liverpool secured their first-ever English Premier League title last week with seven games to go, and they are without a doubt the best team in the land by far.

While their first game as English champions ended in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday, the Reds quickly bounced back with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield on Sunday to set a record of 24 successive home league victories.

It was Liverpool’s first game at their home ground since becoming champions, and a banner that read “LIVERPOOL FC – CHAMPIONS AGAIN” was put up at the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand.
