Manchester City crowned champions although they did it the hard way, trailing Aston Villa 2-0 with 15 minutes to go, before Ilkay Gundogan’s double and a Rodri strike clinched a remarkable 3-2 win which was all they needed.
Liverpool finish as runners-up despite an exceptional campaign, collecting 92 points with 28 wins and only two defeats. The Reds finished their season with a 3-1 home win over Wolverhampton and may have thought their title hopes were alive when City trailed.
Tottenham finished the job to secure fourth spot and Champions League football under Antonio Conte with a 5-0 hammering at Norwich City with doubles from Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-Min while Arsenal’s 4-1 win over Everton proved in vain.

The battle for Champions League spots was intriguing on the final day, with Olympique Marseille securing second spot with a 4-0 home victory over sixth-placed Strasbourg.

Saint Etienne, Metz and Bordeaux were relegated.
