Published on June 26, 2020, Liverpool's 30-year wait for a Premier League title is finally over.

Manchester City's loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night sealed the deal for the Reds, who needed City to drop points in either a draw or a defeat.

Willian's VAR-awarded penalty in the 78th minute handed Chelsea the victory, and despite Kevin de Bruyne's impressive freekick, City couldn't get the winner to delay Liverpool's party.

With the result, Liverpool have opened an unassailable 23-point lead at the top of the standings with seven rounds of matches left.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool will offer their rivals a guard of honour when they meet in their next match after this weekend's FA Cup break.
