On June 24, 2020, Liverpool's 30-year Premier League title drought came to an end, courtesy of Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

Christian Pulisic scored a stunning solo goal in the 36th minute, exploiting a communication breakdown between Benjamin Mendy and Ilkay Gündoğan after a City set piece.

Kevin De Bruyne equalized for City with a brilliant dipping free-kick in the 56th minute, but Chelsea took the lead again through Willian's 78th-minute penalty after Fernandinho was sent off for handling the ball on the goal-line.

The result handed Liverpool the Premier League title, their first league championship win in 30 years, with seven games left to play in the season.
