Liverpool claimed runners-up spot in the Premier League as they
won 1-0 to deny Tottenham European football after a season that produced
an unbeaten home league record for the first time in 21 years.
Their unbeaten home stretch was extended to 30 games as Sami Hyypia
bid a tearful farewell to Anfield after 10 years at the club.
The ovations were for the veteran Finn and a Liverpool side who had
pushed Manchester United all the way in the title race.
The goals came from Fernando Torres, Yossi Benayoun and an own
goal from Alan Hutton, with Robbie Keane scoring for Spurs on his
return to Anfield.
Spurs, even though Fulham lost at home, could not take advantage
and will not be in the Europa League next season.
