Jordan Henderson: "Very Proud Of The Boys And What We Have Done

Liverpool desired to win and expect Manchester City failed to do so, and the uncertain looked to be happening when Pep Guardiola's side found themselves 2-0 down at home to Aston Villa midway through the second half.

That gave hope to Liverpool, who had been dealt a timely whack when Pedro Neto drove in from Raul Jimenez's square ball inside the third minute, Sadio Mane slotting in an equaliser 21 minutes later.

At that stage, Jurgen Klopp's side was set to finish level with City on 90 points, with Pep Guardiola's team top because of their superior goal difference.

Liverpool propelled for a winner that looked like it could clog a 20th league title, Mane having an effort correctly ruled out for offside while Trent Alexander-Arnold saw a long-range effort pushed away.

The second goal ultimately came six minutes before full-time when Mohamed Salah wrapped in from close distance but by then Manchester City had orchestrated an extraordinary response to lead 3-2.

Andy Robertson added a late third for the Reds but there was no late equaliser at Etihad Stadium as Guardiola's side took their sixth Premier League title. Nonetheless, Anfield commended their side's endeavours at full-time as they came close to an uncertain title.

Reds captain Jordan Henderson later said: "Very proud of the boys and what we have done. We did all we could ask for today, but unfortunately not sufficient.

"I was always confident we would find the goal we needed and we did."
