Manchester City Vs Huddersfield Town
The Match ended in a goalless draw
Manchester City lifted the Premier League trophy amid jubilant scenes despite Huddersfield gaining a vital point in their battle to avoid relegation with a goalless draw at Etihad Stadium
While City's coronation may be the main talking point of the day, their record-breaking run to the title deserves another mention.

Team Played Won Drawn Lost For Against GD Points
Manchester City 36 30 04 02 102 26 76 94
Manchester United 36 24 07 05 67 28 39 77
Liverpool 37 20 12 05 80 38 42 72
Tottenham Hotspur 36 21 08 07 68 32 36 71
More records could yet fall in their final two matches of the season, against Brighton and Southampton, with only one more goal needed to equal the highest tally in a Premier League season - the 103 scored by Chelsea in the 2009-10 campaign.
For City fans, it is a title-winning campaign that will no doubt go down in club folklore, turning a 15-point deficit to champions Chelsea last season into a runaway success just a matter of months later.

- Manchester City are without a home league win against Huddersfield since November 1987 (D2 L2), although this was the first such meeting since 1999.
- Indeed, that victory in 1987 was a 10-1 mauling, but City have not scored a single goal in any of their four home league matches against the Terriers since.
- Man City have only failed to score in two previous home Premier League games under Guardiola - vs Stoke in March 2017 and vs Man Utd in April 2017.
- This was only Guardiola's 25th 0-0 draw as a manager of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Manchester City, in what was his 519th game.
- Huddersfield are the first side since Chelsea in April 2014 to stop the team at the top of the table from scoring at home in the Premier League (Liverpool 0-2 Chelsea).
- The Terriers are also the first promoted side to stop Manchester City scoring at the Etihad since Reading won 2-0 in February 2007.
- Huddersfield have failed to score in 20 of their 36 Premier League games this season. Only two sides have ever failed to score in more - Derby County (22 in 2007-08) and Leeds United (21 in 1996-97).
- In fact, Huddersfield have been goalless in 13 Premier League away trips this season - a joint-record (also Norwich City 1994-95, Southampton 1998-99 and Middlesbrough 2002-03).
- Scott Malone's 91st-minute strike was Huddersfield's first shot since the 30th minute and the first shot on target in the game since the 35th minute.
