The English Premier League's final day of 2020 included a great escape, a sleeping giant's return to the big time, and a farewell to a league legend

  • The English Premier League was concluded in exciting fashion on Sunday as all 20 teams played their final games.
  • Watford and Bournemouth were relegated, while Aston Villa pulled off an unlikely great escape.
  • Chelsea and Manchester United also secured Champions League football for next season with impressive 2-0 wins over Wolves and Leicester respectively.
  • Despite failing to score on the day, Leicester's Jamie Vardy was also crowned the league's top scorer for the first time in his career, having hit 23 goals.

Though Liverpool FC had already been crowned English Premier League champions, there was still plenty to play for on the the last day of the season on Sunday.

Only one team, Norwich City, had been relegated, while there was a three way fight for the Champions League still to be had, and four teams still vying for just two spots in the Europa League.

League positions aside, the Golden Boot race was still wide open, with Jamie Vardy, Danny Ings, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Raheem Sterling all in contention to land one of English football's most prestigious individual prizes.

Even Liverpool had one last record to still topple – the most victories ever in a Premier League season.
