What mad day. Man City have shown some unbelievable resolve to come back from the dead to win the title today.
Quadruple bid over for Liverpool. Big task now is to win the Champions League in Paris, but loss of Thiago to injury could be a major blow. — Mark Ogden
SIG: All three of Man City’s goals came in a span of 5 minutes, 36 seconds (75:1, 77:43 and 80:47)
SIG: This was the second time in the last 10 Premier League seasons that a team won on the final match day after trailing by 2+ goals. The other instance was on 2017-18 finale when Tottenham beat Leicester 5-4.
12.57 ET / 17.57 BST: FINAL SCORES
IT’S OVER! Man City are champions!!!! Liverpool’s result against Wolves is rendered moot after a fantastic comeback from Guardiola’s men.
Two-nil down only to win the league with three goals in the space of six chaotic minutes. What a climax.
Arsenal signed off in triumphant style with a 5-1 thrashing of hapless Everton though it won’t be enough to earn them a top-four finish as Tottenham also racked up five goals in the final outing by drubbing Watford to the tune of 5-0. Heung Min Son scored two in Tottenham’s final-day mauling to become the first ever Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot, tied with Mo Salah on 23 goals.
Manchester United will play in the Europa League next year despite finishing their dreary season with a fittingly underwhelming 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace. Thankfully, West Ham’s 3-1 loss against Brighton was enough to deliver the Red Devils from the ignominy of the Europa Conference League.
And Leeds’ win vs. Brentford keeps them up, as Burnley lost to Newcastle.
Arsenal 5-1 Everton
Brentford 1-2 Leeds
Brighton 3-1 West Ham
Burnley 1-2 Newcastle
Chelsea 2-1 Watford
Crystal Palace 1-0 Man Utd
Leicester 4-1 Southampton
Liverpool 3-1 Wolves
Man City 3-2 Aston Villa
Norwich 0-5 Spurs
12.55 ET / 17.55 BST: BRENTFORD 1-2 LEEDS
Jack Harrison with a monumental goal. Leeds safe!
12.50 ET / 17.50 BST: LIVERPOOL 3-1 WOLVES
Andy Robertson makes it three for Liverpool! But the Reds need a goal from Villa.
Understandable confusion at Anfield as a mass cheer erupts after erroneous scorelines from the Etihad are disseminated among the crowd
12.45 ET / 17.45 BST: LIVERPOOL 2-1 WOLVES
Liverpool have their goal. Salah has his 23rd goal of the season and it’s the lead for Liverpool.
City still lead the title chase by a point but we suspect there might still be a twist or two left in store before close of play.
The atmosphere has gone celebratory and expectant to completely flat at Anfield. Wolves fans now taunting Liverpool fans with chants of ‘You nearly won the league.’ Salah has ust made it 2-1 on 84 mins…
