Manchester City beat Liverpool to Premier League title: All the best moments from a dramatic final day

But the scoreline doesn’t tell the entire story – and at one point the title was heading to Merseyside.


Fresh from witnessing the miraculous 4-0 victory over Barcelona, Anfield believed anything was possible, and Liverpool struck first when Sadio Mane turned in Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross in the 17th minute.
