Liverpool is the lone team standing at the top of the Premier League standings amid one of the most congested title races in recent memory. Merseyside club benefited from their comeback win against Brighton and a goalless draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, two other challengers for the title.

Entering Sunday, Liverpool was tied with Arsenal at the top, with each team having 64 points, one more than Man City behind them.

Liverpool faced Brighton, and things didn’t look good early on, as they conceded a goal in the second minute of the game. However, Luis Diaz scored an equalizer in the 27th minute and Mohammed Salah added another goal in the 67th minute to seal a 2-1 win.

Manchester City and Arsenal faced each other later in the day and didn’t exactly give the fans their money’s worth. What was expected to be an attacking clash turned out to be a defense-oriented affair. While City enjoyed 73% possession, the two teams only managed to account for three shots on target.

Now, Liverpool has 67 points, two more than second-placed Arsenal and three more than City in the third spot. Out of the three clubs, City has the easiest remaining schedule, facing five teams from the bottom 10 in the next nine games.

Manchester City lost the Premier League title to Liverpool this season, but they will at least still hold the record for most points won in a single Premier League season.

Liverpool entered the Wednesday night match against Arsenal with a chance to break that record, needing three wins in their remaining three games of 2019/20. However, the reds tripped on the first obstacle.

Liverpool opened the match against Arsenal the best way imaginable, getting the lead in the 20th minute thanks to forward Sadio Mane. However, the London club didn’t back down and quickly struck back.

Arsenal managed to get level thanks to Alexandre Lacazette, who used one poor Virgil van Dijk’s back-pass to get to the ball and place it past Alisson in 32′ minute. Liverpool’s goalkeeper followed this by mistake of his own just before halftime, handing over the possession to the opponents in the penalty box and allowing Reiss Nelson to score his first goal in Arsenal jersey.

Liverpool tried to get back into the game in the second half, but couldn’t capitalize on their chances and ended up suffering only their third loss in 2019/20.

This was Arsenal’s first win over Liverpool since 2015.

“I’m disappointed and angry about a few things but the game was good, the attitude was good, but we took a break and that is why we lost the game. That is football, someone is surprised these boys are human beings – I am not. From time to time they are not perfect,” said Liverpool’s head coach Jurgen Klopp after the game.

There are still several records that Liverpool can break or tie before the end of the season, including the biggest title-winning margin and most wins in a season.

History was made on Thursday night as Liverpool FC clinched its first-ever Premier League title, an agonizing and embarrassing sore point for the Reds during the past three decades.

The 2019 Champions League winner has been one of the top teams in the world over the past few seasons but had still been unable to break their league drought in England thanks in large part to Manchester City’s dominance at the top of the table.

However, in an ironic twist of fate, it was Manchester City’s 2-1 loss at Chelsea on Thursday which sealed the Reds’ first-ever Premier League title.

Liverpool’s last English league title had come in 1990 when they won the English First Division before the creation of the Premier League.

Liverpool has dominated the league all season long, but its title hopes were cast into question when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the postponement of the remainder of the season in March. There were questions as to whether or not the season would resume and if Liverpool would be able to hoist the title, but those doubts were eventually resolved.

With seven games left in the season, Liverpool will look to avoid any significant injuries and enjoy the rest of the season as they celebrate their hard-earned and well-deserved crown.
