Manchester City beat Liverpool by one point to clinch their fourth Premier League title in five years after defeating Aston Villa 3-2 at home on the final day of the season.
It was a heartbreaking night for Liverpool after Manchester City beat the Reds by one point to clinch their fourth Premier League title in five years.
The Sky Blues retained their crown most dramatically as they hauled themselves back from two goals down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with three strikes in the final 15 minutes.
Ilkay Gundogan came off the bench to score twice, with Rodri also on target as Pep Guardiola's men held off Liverpool's title charge to win the league with 93 points.
Despite Liverpool's 3-1 win over Wolves at Anfield, the victory was not enough for Jurgen Klopp's men to close in on the unique quadruple glory.

"Thank you for your brilliant support this season, Reds. What an incredible ride this special team has taken us all on ❤. There have been so many memorable moments, together. One game to go. See you all in Paris 🇫🇷," Liverpool wrote on their official Twitter handle.
