Manchester City sealed their fifth Premier League title following a packed matchweek of Premier League action, in which the relegation positions were finalised.
Pep Guardiola’s Citizens were initially denied the opportunity to wrap up the title on their home turf, as Marcos Alonso struck an injury-time comeback winner for Chelsea after Hakim Ziyech cancelled out Raheem Sterling’s opener.
Man Utd further delayed City’s crowning moment after coming from behind to beat Aston Villa 3-1 at Villa Park, only to lose 2-1 to Leicester just 52 hours later which proved enough to gift their cross-city rivals the title.
For Brendan Rogers’ Foxes, goals from Luke Thomas and Caglar Soyuncu either side of Mason Greenwood’s equaliser saw them reclaim third, after suffering a 4-2 defeat on Friday against Newcastle United as Callum Wilson grabbed a brace for the Magpies.
Ole Gunnar-Solskjaer’s Red Devils meanwhile proceeded to lose their third match in five days, as Roberto Firmino’s brace helped Liverpool come from behind to clinch a 4-2 win at Old Trafford.
That result coupled with a 2-0 home win over Southampton in Saturday Night Football lifted Liverpool up to fifth and now four points off the final Champions League qualification spot.
Chelsea slipped back to fourth after Emile Smith Rowe struck a narrow winner for Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, with Mikel Arteta’s Gunners having relegated West Brom on Sunday evening in a 3-1 home victory in which Smith Rowe scored his maiden league goal.
West Ham slipped to sixth after Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 24th minute strike proved enough to seal a narrow away victory for Everton, who went on to find themselves held to a goalless draw in a rearranged midweek away clash against Aston Villa.
Elsewhere, Fulham became the third and final team to be relegated after late first-half goals from Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood secured Burnley a huge win at Craven Cottage on Monday evening to send the Cottagers down.
Leeds United caused a surprise result as goals from Patrick Bamford and Rodrigo wrapped up a 3-1 win over Tottenham at Elland Road, after Stuart Dallas’ opener was cancelled out by Son Heung-Min.
Crystal Palace sit 13th after Ebere Eze provided an assist and goal in Saturday’s 2-0 win at rock-bottom Sheffield United, only for Roy Hodgson’s Eagles to blow Christian Benteke’s second minute lead on Tuesday evening to lose 3-1 at Southampton.
Wolves came from behind through Adama Traore and Morgan Gibbs-White to defeat Brighton 2-1 at Molineux, with Graham Potter’s Seagulls reduced to nine men after Lewis Dunk and Neal Maupay was red carded in separate second half incidents.
Finally, off the pitch this week saw confirmation that Sky Sports, BT Sport, Amazon Prime and BBC have renewed their broadcasting contracts until the end of 2024-25 Premier League season.
