Manchester City Retains Premier League Title, Holds Off Liverpool on Final Day

For the fourth time in five seasons, Manchester City reigns supreme atop the Premier League table.

Man City won another league title—its second in a row—by overcoming a late two-goal deficit to defeat Aston Villa, 3–2, to hold off Liverpool’s charge. City almost lost the title on the final day of the season after falling behind 2–0 to Villa, but everything changed when u0130lkay Gündou011fan scored in the 76th minute. Two minutes later, Rodri equalized before Gündou011fan added his second that ended up being the title-clincher.

Man City had left the door open for the Reds by drawing West Ham last weekend and dropping two vital points, and Jürgen Klopp’s men took it to the final day with a come-from-behind win at Southampton with a heavily rotated squad on Tuesday.
