From Arsenal’s ‘invincible’ run to Liverpool’s salvation under Klopp, here are some of the most iconic success stories in the Premier League.
The Premier League has witnessed many dramatic moments throughout its history, but nothing compares to the drama of a title race. Here are the five most dramatic Premier League title wins in history.
5- Liverpool end a three-decade wait (2020)
Liverpool had come close to winning the Premier League in the past, but 30 years had passed since they were last crowned champions of England. The 2019/20 season looked like it would be no different, with Liverpool faltering in the previous season. But with a dominant front three of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, Liverpool secured the title with seven games to spare in what was a remarkable season.
4- The treble winners (1999)
Manchester United’s treble-winning season of 1999 is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in football history. The Red Devils won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in a season that will live long in the memory of United fans. With the likes of Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and David Beckham, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side showed incredible resilience and determination to win all three competitions.
3- Leicester complete the impossible task (2016)
Leicester City’s title win in 2016 is one of the most unlikely and impressive in football history. The Foxes were relegation candidates the previous season, but with the appointment of Claudio Ranieri, they went on to win the Premier League with a ten-point margin. With the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, Leicester played some of the most exciting football in the league that season and their title win will never be forgotten.
2- Arsenal are INVINCIBLES (2004)
Arsenal’s unbeaten season of 2003/04 is one of the most impressive achievements in the history of the Premier League. The Gunners went the entire season without losing a single game, winning 26 and drawing 12 of their 38 matches. With Thierry Henry in his prime, Arsenal were an unstoppable force and secured the title with ease.
1- Man City start a new era (2012)
Manchester City’s title win in 2012 will live long in the memory of City fans. In the final game of the season against Queens Park Rangers, City found themselves 2-1 down with just a few minutes to play. But a late Edin Dzeko header and a Sergio Aguero winner in injury time secured the title for City, in what was one of the most dramatic moments in Premier League history. The win marked the beginning of a new era for City, who have gone on to win the title five more times since then.
