Jurgen Klopp's side were the biggest winners on what may be looked back at as the biggest day of the season
Football commentators have to come up with the right words at the biggest moments. Brian Moore delivered when behind the mic for ITV at Anfield on May 26, 1989. It was the most dramatic climax to a title race of all time.
Fatigue plays a factor too. I thought both Manchester City and Arsenal looked tired at the Etihad on Sunday. The stats bear out the theory that there was a listlessness to their play. City had just one shot on target, Arsenal only two. Neither goalkeeper had a save of note to make. But he’s flexible enough to change his approach, depending on the opposition. At the Etihad, Arteta made sure that Arsenal didn’t fall into City’s trap. Arteta’s men let City have the ball and were patient out of possession. Declan Rice and Gabriel Saliba were all outstanding in minding the house.
Go back a decade to the 2013/14 Premier League season. We remember that for Steven Gerrard’s slip and the title falling out of the grasp of Liverpool. But it wasn’t just Gerrard that slipped. Manchester City became champions but were only on top of the table for 15 days over the course of that season.
