The final rounds of the Premier League delighted the fans with a struggle that lasted almost until the finish whistle. Manchester City won the Premier League on 22 May, beating 1-point lead Liverpool. The denouement turned out to be dramatic, as according to the results of the first half, the “citizens” lost to Aston Villa, and their competitor went to a draw. If the games ended like this, City would still be champions due to better goal difference, but if Liverpool won, they would take the trophy.
In the second half, both contenders for victory in the championship of England managed to turn the game in their favor. Manchester scored their goals in the 76th, 78th and 81st minutes, while Liverpool scored in the 84th and 89th. Since both teams won, the difference between them remained at the level of 1 point.. Other competitors dropped out of the race in advance, having lost a real chance of winning the trophy back in April. The difference between the teams is well reflected in the standings.

Manchester United will keep him company in LE. West Ham, who finished 7th in the Premier League table, will play in the Conference League, having started their journey from the qualifying stage.
Changes in the composition of the Premier League At the end of the season, Norwich and Watford left the League, who were able to stay in the elite for only a year. They lost the chance of salvation even before the end of the championship, because they scored very few points.. With them, Burnley goes to the Championship, which in the last 5 matches lost three times and drew once.
Fulham, Bournemouth and Nottingham are the top three outsiders this season in the Premier League.. The London club were the first to secure promotion in the class, having collected enough points already on 19 April. Bournemouth were next in the elite, guaranteeing their promotion to the Premier League after the May 3 game. Nottingham Forest were the last to pass, who won this right by winning the play-off stage in the Championship.
