Chelsea: Lampard says he is ‘excited’ to sign Werner
Chelsea beat Manchester City at Stamford Bridge to hand Liverpool their first ever Premier League title. Goals from Christian Pulisic and Willian cancelled out Kevin De Bruyne's blockbuster free-kick to give the Blues all three points.
City headed into the match knowing they needed a win to keep their Premier League title hopes alive, while Chelsea were looking to consolidate their hold on a top four spot.
And it was Frank Lampard's men who got off to the perfect start when Pulisic forced Benjamin Mendy into an error and slotted home past Ederson.
City came back into the game with a stunning free-kick from De Bruyne but Willian made Liverpool's title safe with the winner from the penalty spot after Fernandinho was sent off for handball.

GK: Kepa Arrizabalaga - 5
Excellent save as he tipped Fernandinho's header over the bar, but got lucky with a woeful bit of distribution that went unpunished by Bernardo Silva.
Absolutely no chance with De Bruyne's free-kick, although some will question the Spaniard's commitment, and was left stranded again when Raheem Sterling hit the post.
RB: Cesar Azpilicueta - 7
Unable to match his brace of assists against Aston Villa but was solid enough, making a number of key interventions as Mendy overloaded his flank.

Held the ball up well in the first half as Chelsea struggled to haul themselves up the pitch, but arguably should have targeted a defensively suspect Mendy.
Kept his cool to smash home an excellent penalty and put the Blues ahead again.
LAM: Christian Pulisic - 8
Went looking for work, picking the ball up deep and driving at the City defence.
Looked Chelsea's most threatening attacker and was rewarded with a superb breakaway goal, robbing Mendy and leaving the Frenchman in his wake before slotting brilliantly past Ederson.
Denied a carbon-copy second by a miraculous goal-line clearance from Kyle Walker.
ST: Olivier Giroud - 5
Isolated for much of the match, although a couple of delightful flicks demonstrated his worth to the Blues as an attacking foil.
Sacrificed on the hour after Chelsea lost control of the match.

A lack of service meant a tough cameo for the young striker, although his presence forced the penalty.
SUB: Mateo Kovacic (on for Barkley, 73 mins) - 6
Put himself about in a bid to regain a foothold in the match.
SUB: Pedro (on for Mount, 91 mins) - N/A
