THE Premier League title seesawed this way and that, and, in the end, Pep Guardiola escaped a season in which his phenomenal Manchester City team came within a goal of going without a single piece of silverware.

Ilkay Gundogan scored a brace as City hit three in six minutes to come from 2–0 down against Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa to win 3–2 at home.

Second-place Liverpool were tired and tense — and down after just two minutes against Wolves. But Mo Salah and Andy Robertson scored in the 84th and 89th minutes to ensure Jurgen Klopp’s Reds had done all they could, with a 3–1 victory.
