Liverpool into Champions League, Man City reaches 100 points
Associated Press Published 5:51 pm, Sunday, May 13, 2018 Liverpool qualified for the Champions League at the expense of Chelsea and champion Manchester City made it to 100 points as the loose ends were tied up on a high-scoring final day of the English Premier League season Sunday. It was also the end of an era, with Arsene Wenger taking charge of his final game as Arsenal manager after 22 seasons. He went out with a 1-0 win at Huddersfield. “I should have announced every week my goodbye,” said Wenger, whose team finished sixth, “because people have been so nice with me.” Liverpool only needed to draw with Brighton to secure another season in the Champions League, but manager Juergen Klopp fielded an attacking team and was rewarded with a 4-0 victory at Anfield.

"Looking for records helps to keep the players focused. The league is won, now it’s the records.” Three weeks after Guardiola spoke those words, his team underlined that point with a win over Brighton at home, meaning they eclipsed the previous Premier League record points tally of 95 points, set by Chelsea in 2005. Our interactive graphic tells the story of how Guardiola's swashbuckling side left their rivals trailing - and tore up the history … [Read more...] about How Man City obliterated the Premier League record points total
