Liverpool Premier League Champions: Jurgen Klopp's Reds end 30-year wait
Liverpool's 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace on Wednesday threw up an intriguing situation - if Pep Guardiola's Manchester City dropped points against Chelsea, Liverpool win the Premier League title. Frank Lampard's men did one better, beating the defending champions 2-1 after Jurgen Klopp's former Dortmund pupil, Christian Pulisic led the Blues' attack, scoring the opener. Kevin De Bruyne equalised, but couldn't salvage a draw after Fernandinho was sent off, with Willian converting the subsequent penalty. The Reds have broken numerous records throughout their championship run and are all set to break a few more with seven Premier League games yet to be played.
