Christian Pulisic and Kevin de Bruyne in a draw that confirmed Liverpool as top flight champions for the first time in 30 years.
The pressure was all on Manchester City pre-game as they knew that only a win could stop Liverpool from winning the title. It, nor the heat, didn't affect them as the boys in the ice pop tops started the brighter.
Most of the play was down Manchester City's left with Raheem Sterling and Benjamin Mendy proving difficult for Cesar Azpilicueta to deal with. Bernardo Silva, acting as the central strikerless figure, had three efforts at goal. A slow shot and easy header were saved by Kepa Arrizabalaga but the Spaniard almost gifted Silva a goal when his misplaced pass found it's way to the City forward but Arrizabalaga smothered the loose ball.
Arrizabalaga was more alert to stop a flicked Fernandinho header from a free kick but that was the closest Manchester City came to scoring.
Chelsea struggled to apply themselves in the match, largely down to the temperature and Manchester City dominating. Mason Mount launched a counter attack and should've slipped Willian in but overhit his attempted through ball and Ross Barkley missed from a narrow angle after Mount's shot-cum-cross found the Englishman at the back post.
Andreas Christensen headed straight at Ederson from close range and with Chelsea now providing more impetus, they broke the deadlock. Chelsea cleared the ball from their set piece with Ilkay Gundogan and Mendy the covering City players.
Gundogan made a movement away from the ball but there was a miscommunication with his teammate. Mendy passed the ball to where Gundogan was previously positioned and Christian Pulisic pounced. Putting the burners on, he raced past the two helpless defenders and placed the ball into the bottom corner. It was perfect; Ederson had no chance. Manchester City had to score twice in the second half.
And they got one through de Bruyne. Stamford Bridge was the venue for an outrageous Marcus Rashford free kick in the Carabao Cup and it was the scene of another sensational, knuckleball strike. Striking through the ball to get the dip needed to bring the ball down, it was executed perfectly, arrowing into the top corner. Arrizabalaga didn't even put his hands out. There was no point.
And they almost got a second quickly after. Kevin de Bruyne found Gabriel Jesus on the left wing as City sprang a lightning speed counter attack. Jesus played in Sterling who was only denied by the post.
It was Ederson's time to gift possession to the opposition, and Mount smashed the side netting when scoring seemed easier. Sterling then curled an effort just wide with Arrizabalaga rooted to the ground. The game had become the best since the restart, with both sides looking to attack with a win as important to each other.
Then Chelsea almost took the lead again. Pulisic, again, put the boosters on and took the ball around Ederson but Kyle Walker, somehow, get round and cleared the ball off the line.
It was, though, in the 77th minute when the game changed. Tammy Abraham had a shot saved by Ederson and he bundled the ball past the 'keeper but Fernandinho prevented a goal with another goal line clearance. Or had he? He blocked the ball with his hand - deliberately - but it was not spotted by the referee. VAR saw this, Fernandinho was sent off and Willian converted from the spot.
In 2016, Chelsea drew with Tottenham at Stamford Bridge to make Leicester's dream became reality. Four years later, Chelsea beat Manchester City to Liverpool's dream become a reality.
