Di saat yang bersamaan, Liverpool -- yang mengalami kebangkitan signifikan sejak pergantian tahun dan bahkan memimpin klasemen selama beberapa pekan -- memang menang 2-1 atas Newcastle United. Tapi, koleksi poin mereka masih terpaut dua poin dari City sehingga The Reds batal meraih trofi perdana di era EPL.
Pesta juara di Etihad sudah dimulai sejak babak pertama ketika sepakan geledek Samir Nasri dari luar kotak penalti sukses menembus jala West Ham. Di babak kedua, Vincent Kompany semakin menjauhkan keunggulan lewat sontekannya guna memastikan City tetap bercokol di urutan puncak klasemen akhir.
Dengan demikian, The Sky Blues sukses mengamankan titel juara EPL untuk kali kedua dalam tiga musim terakhir atau yang keempat sepanjang sejarah. Raihan ini melengkapi trofi Piala Liga yang mereka raih pada Maret lalu sekaligus mempermanis musim debut bagi manajer Manuel Pellegrini.
