Manchester City won the Premier League title in the most dramatic circumstance, beating Liverpool by one point after a 3-2 victory over Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa. At first it seemed almost certain that the title was destined for Al Ittihad, as Pedro Neto scored Wolverhampton's first goal to equalize Liverpool in defence.
Liverpool quickly equalized in style, with Sadio Mane grabbing an accurate ball before easily edging past Jose Sa.
By the 45th minute, things were starting to look more rosy for Liverpool, as Philippe Coutinho fired a soft-touch mallet kick and ended up leaving Ederson flat in place in the 69th minute. The Premier League drama is sure to drop. in the history books. . .
Against all odds, Manchester City made their way to the top, with Ilkay Gundogan scoring two goals from close range and Rodri hitting a superb goal between them, pushing the Blues to the brink of glory with the title. The drama did not end there, as Liverpool put more and more pressure on their opponents.
Mohamed Salah and Andy Robertson were expected to lead Liverpool to a convincing victory with two late efforts, but Manchester City wrapped up the Premier League title after an impressive second-half performance. Pep Guardiola has won the Premier League title for the second time in a row, while Jurgen Klopp hopes his side can heal their wounds ahead of next weekend's Champions League final against Real Madrid in Paris.
