See How This Season’s Premier League Table Looks At The END (PHOTOS)
The 2018–19 Premier League began on Saturday, 11 August and ends on Sunday, 19 May 2019 with Manchester City wining the trophy back to back for the first time.
Liverpool’s woe continues as they failed to win the trophy despite good performance in the league.
However, Leicester and Chelsea played out a typically low-key end-of-season affair which ended goalless at the King Power Stadium.
The result ensured that Chelsea finished their first Premier League campaign under Italian manager Maurizio Sarri in third.
Sarri’s side began brightly despite the absence of Eden Hazard, who started on the substitutes bench.
Pedro and Willian both carried a threat, but Gonzalo Higuain missed the pick of their chances from close range before the contest fizzled out.
Leicester – who have enjoyed a renaissance since Brendan Rodgers took charge in February, collecting 17 points over the last nine games – end the season in ninth.
Toothless Chelsea
While Chelsea’s play was neat, tidy and carried an occasional threat, the first period served up a look at what life might be like without Eden Hazard in the future.
The Belgium international has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than any other player this season, with 16 goals and 15 assists.
And without their talismanic forward Sarri’s side were unable to turn their dominance into the reward of an opening goal, with only three of their eight shots finding the target.
Ross Barkley set the tone with an effort that was brilliantly saved by home goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel in the third minute.
But that early promise dissolved particularly once Higuain spurned the best opportunity of the game.
The 31-year-old Argentina international managed to hit his standing leg from six-yards out when completely unmarked, bringing a sweeping Chelsea move to an unfortunate conclusion.
