Liverpool are Champions of the English Premier League

Liverpool football club of England are now the premier league champions after Chelsea beat Manchester City 2-1 tonight.

Manchester City needed to win Chelsea tonight to have a chance of defending the title against Liverpool next week but faltered after Chelsea’s two goals.

It took Liverpool 28 wins and 86 points amid a Coronavirus imposed break after an incredible season where they have lost only once, to win the title.

Liverpool F.C. had previously won England’s top football league 18 times. The club’s last league title win was the 1989-90 season.

With seven games remaining, it is the earliest any side has ever won the Premier League title, with Jurgen Klopp’s men surpassing the achievements of Manchester United in 2000-01 and Manchester City’s ‘centurions’ of 2017-18. Both of those teams clinched the league with five games left.

Liverpool had moved to the brink of the title with a 4-0 battering of Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday, and their lead of 23 points at the top of the table is the largest held by a champion in English top-flight history.

Klopp’s side will now look to write even more history. They need 15 points from their last seven matches to set a new record points total for a top-flight campaign, and can also become the first team to win every single home game in a single season.

They will be given a guard of honour in their next fixture, which coincidentally comes against City at the Etihad Stadium next Thursday. Guardiola’s side, champions in each of the last two seasons, have been unable to match Liverpool’s remarkable, relentless form.
