Liverpool are top-flight champions for the first time since 1990 thanks to Chelsea’s 2-1 win over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds can finally celebrate the Anfield club’s maiden Premier League triumph, after Christian Pulisic and Willian grabbed Chelsea a turbulent victory over City in west London. Now, though, the Merseyside party can start in earnest, after Chelsea played Premier League kingmakers for the second time in four years. Maybe now Liverpool fans will forgive Chelsea for scuppering their 2014 title bid, with that 2-0 win at Anfield that will be forever remembered for Steven Gerrard’s slip. City pressed to the last but Chelsea held out – sealing a big win in the Champions League race, but also that elusive league crown for Liverpool.
