Comments:

League position: 4th Chelsea remained unbeaten in their last 13 home games in the Premier League against the reigning champions. The Blues had now lost one of their last eight games in the Premier League (won four). Christian Pulišić had now scored seven goals so far in this Premier League season; the most by any player in the division aged 21 or under.

Comments:

League position: 2nd Due to Manchester City’s failure to win this game, Liverpool were confirmed as champions of the Premier League for the first time and English league champions for the 19th time (first since 1989-90). [Also see our match page for Liverpool's game against Crystal Palace on 24 June 2020] After 31 games, City had now lost eight games in this Premier League season; their most in a completed season since 2015-16 (ten). Fernandinho had now been shown six red cards since joining City in June 2013; at least two more than any other Premier League player in all competitions in the same period.
