Liverpool Football Club players, management, coaching crew, staff and fans were glued to their Television sets as Manchester City Football Club travelled to Stamford Bridge, in London, to tackle Coach Frank Lampard’s youthful side, Chelsea, in a trophy decider.
Knowing that a victory for Chelsea against Manchester City will secure Liverpool their 19th English Premier League after 30 years of wait, having commanded a 23 Points difference against the Citizens, as Manchester City is called.
Chelsea took the lead, courtesy of Christian Mate Pulisic’s strike early in the first half.
At the start of the second half, Kevin De Bruyne equalised from a superb well-taken free kick to put the Reds as Liverpool are called on the hot seat.
The Celestial Powers were directing the orbit and the EPL trophy to the Merseyside, as Fernandinho handled the ball in the 18 yard box to give Chelsea a penalty which was brilliantly converted by Willian to send the vociferous fans of Liverpool who were watching the ball via online, into partying, as the game ended 2-1 in favour of Chelsea to the amazement of Liverpool.
The Reds won the Barclays English Premier League with seven games to spear.
It started like a fairytale journey for Coach Jurgen Klopp and his Liverpool Football Club team.
They came close to winning the trophy last season, but were denied by Pep Guardiola’s side, Manchester City Football Club, with just a point.
Finally, the 30 year wait for the coveted domestic silverware has been broken.
The last time Liverpool won the Premier League was in 1990 in which former England Striker, John Barnes was part of the winning squad.
Liverpool is just one Premier League away from equalling Manchester United’s record of 20 Premier League triumph, with Arsenal, the closest to the Premier League trophy haul with 13 Premier League titles.
