The result means that Liverpool , who thrashed Crystal Palace on Wednesday , have clinched a first-ever Premier League title and a first in England 's top flight in 30 years as Man City can no longer mathematically catch the leaders, whom they trail by 23 points.

After the match, Man City boss Pep Guardiola said: "Big congratulations to Liverpool for this great season and the title they won.

We have a lot to play for this season, but of course we will try to be close to Liverpool next season. They had incredible focus and played every game like it was the last game.

In the beginning we didn't play that way. Manchester City dominated possession in the opening half-hour, but couldn't find a goal as the hosts continued to grow into the match.

A mixup at midfield by the City defence allowed Pulisic to rush on to a loose ball, with the U. The goal was Pulisic's second in as many games and seventh in the Premier League this season as Chelsea took a lead into half-time.

Man City drew level early in the second half on the back of a phenomenal free kick from Kevin De Bruyne after N'Golo Kante had fouled Riyad Mahrez just outside the penalty area.

Minutes later, City nearly took the lead from a counter-attack, but Raheem Sterling 's shot with only Kepa Arrizabalaga to beat came back off the post and the score remained level.

Pulisic looked to have had his second on the night to restore Chelsea's lead, but an incredible defensive effort from a sliding Kyle Walker kept the ball from crossing the goalline.

More goalline heroics from Ederson and the City defence looked to have kept Chelsea from taking the lead, but VAR intervened to award a penalty to Chelsea for handball on Fernandinho , with Willian stepping up to dispatch the spot kick for Fernandinho was shown a straight red for having swatted Tammy Abraham 's goal-bound shot away on the goalline and Man City could not find a way back into the match as they finished down a man.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, who won three Premier League titles as a player at Stamford Bridge, congratulated Liverpool in a news conference and said it was up to other clubs to match them and Guardiola's City.

Again, credit to Liverpool for what they've done. Title-implications aside, the win was also a massive boost to Chelsea's quest to finish in the Champions League places, solidifying the team's hold on fourth place in the table with 54 points.

We always knew Phil Foden was the real deal in terms of talent. People kept suggesting he should go to Germany or elsewhere, but why?

He is, in time, going to be David Silva's replacement, and a good one at that. He must learn the other side of the game though.

He does remind me of Jack Wilshere. A sweet left foot, superb in tight situations and hard to knock off the ball, while being precise with his passing.

It was the injuries that finished Wilshere at the top level, but what Jack was not able to do that Foden was able to do is being able to work under a coach that is requiring you to learn differing positions.

Foden is being taught the Andres Iniesta role, yet he scores two against Burnley playing in a wide-left role. You have to make runs in behind, creating space down the left for Silva or Oleksandr Zinchenko, and he did just that.

He is creating space without the ball and then you will gradually get the ball. Pep's ways of working are brilliant, and Foden is learning all the time.

You saw the delight on his face after the game - he knows he has it and City know they have the right guy and he is the one who can be trusted.

This may start the Manchester City rebuild for back-to-back titles again. They do have a replacement and he is one of their own.

He is playing in and around Kevin De Bruyne, who is one of the best in the world, and all of these cup competitions they are building for will help his progression.

I see a big improvement here and City will reap the rewards. Chelsea came back well with energy and enthusiasm against Aston Villa, especially with the youngsters, but you can still see that they have problems defensively.

You can get at them. Billy Gilmour was left out, as we know what N'Golo Kante can do. Chelsea will be a handful going forward, and if City don't win, Liverpool will win the league as a result, but I think it is looking like Liverpool having to go to City to win it.
