Manchester City clinched its fourth Premier League championship in five years after rallying to beat Aston Villa on the final day of the season.
For all of the drama the English Premier League has manufactured in its 30 years, the one plot twist it had never seen was a final-day lead change. Titles had gone down to the wire, and even been decided in the dying moments of the season, but never before had the club that started the day in second place ended the day holding the trophy.
Sunday was no exception. Though Manchester City scared itself by spotting Aston Villa a 2-0 lead, it stormed back to win 3-2 and clinch its fourth league title in five years. Liverpool did as much as it could by beating Wolves 3-1 at Anfield, but the victory wasn’t enough. After a grueling 10-month, 38-game campaign, Liverpool finished with 92 points, just one behind City’s 93.
