Liverpool have ended their Premier League season with a 3-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Goals from Fernando Torres and Yossi Benayoun along with an own goal by Alan Hutton ensured the Reds ended the 2008/2009 campaign unbeaten at home the first time in 21 years and finish the term as runners-up to Manchester United.
The Anfield faithful were also treated to a late cameo from stalwart Sami Hyypia who sets sail for German football next year after decade's service with the Merseysiders.
The ovations were for the veteran Finn and a Liverpool side who had pushed United all the way in the title race.
Spurs, who needed to win to enter next seasons Europa League, did find the net when Robbie Keane returned to score against the team he left in January but it proved insignificant and the Londoners end their year in 8th place.
Reds boss Rafael Benitez left out two defenders who had played in the win at West Brom last week but veteran Hyypia was not in the starting line-up.
A packed Anfield, who sung the Finn's name at every opportunity, would no doubt have liked to see the 35 year-old on from the start before he leaves to join Bayer Leverkusen but it was not to be that romantic a day.
