Chelsea and Liverpool prove Premier League excitement, even if title race is a foregone conclusion

LONDON -- Manchester City have shown themselves to be in a league of their own, so the Premier League should be thankful that Chelsea and Liverpool are still able to keep us all entertained. Sunday's 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge helped neither team and only consolidated City's vice-like grip on top spot, but football is about jeopardy, risk and overcoming flaws, and when it all comes together, you get an unforgettable game like this one.

Even before City moved 11 points clear at the top of table with a 2-1 win at Arsenal on Saturday, this second-versus-third clash was always a case of both sides needing to win to maintain faint hopes of catching Pep Guardiola's winning machine.
