Liverpool have been crowned Premier League champions after Chelsea held Manchester City to a draw on Thursday night

City went to Stamford Bridge as the reigning top-flight champions and needed victory to prevent Liverpool from winning the league before the top two teams go head-to-head at the Etihad next week.

But Christian Pulisic capitalised on a mix-up between Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gundogan on the half-way line before half-time to put Chelsea ahead.

Kevin De Bruyne's stunning second-half free-kick threatened to delay Liverpool's title party and soon after, former Reds winger Raheem Sterling struck the post after a lightning-quick counter-attack as City sought to take the lead.

Pulisic then almost scored a second with 20 minutes to go, the American seeing his effort cleared off the line superbly by Kyle Walker before Tammy Abraham was also denied at close range.

They become the first Premier League side ever to wrap up the title with at least six matches in hand - though they also become the team to win it at the latest date ever due to the season's three-month coronavirus-enforced break between March and June.
