Adam Byrne:, external Kompany scores the title-confirming goal in Tony Adams-esque fashion.

Kwame Manu-Antwi:, external You don't win a 38-game league by luck. Consistency, squad depth and balance is required. Sadly, Liverpool fell short of that.

Rick Nash:, external I don't mean to alarm you Liverpool, but you are now embroiled in a race for second. Come on Chelsea!

The most prominent frown in football is out again. Steven Gerrard whips in a brilliant delivery from out wide, Joe Allen and Luis Suarez both fail to connect by a matter of inches and the ball drifts just past the post. Gerrard looks very, very unhappy.

West Brom score their first home Premier League goal against Stoke and it is a neat one with Graham Dorrans and Craig Dawson combining to set up Stephane Sessegnon for a low finish.

Exquisite. Juan Mata. 25-yard free-kick. Bent in at the near post. World-class.

Swansea plump up that two-goal cushion. Marvin Emnes's pull back from dead ball line is collected by Wilfried Bony who turns smartly before firing a low finish in off the post from about 15 yards.

That is Bony's 16th Premier League goal of the season.

Matty Taylor scuffs one wide from the edge of the box as West Ham briefly threaten. We are into the last 35 minutes.

"Marco van Basten's goal was unbelievable, this is not van Basten but it's not far off - what a goal. Arsenal have missed Aaron Ramsey."

Chelsea have shook off their lethargy in the second half and Mohamed Salah drills a cross invitingly into the danger area but nobody can get on the end of it. Still 1-0 to Cardiff.

Perhaps understandably, the bubble has burst at Liverpool. Newcastle are keeping the ball with ease at a now subdued Anfield. This is the worst I've seen the hosts play at home all season.

What a goal! Aaron Ramsey comes over all Marco van Basten, crashing a volley past John Ruddy from a tight angle from Olivier Giroud's floating cross.

How different would Arsenal's season have been with him fit all season?

Alex: Can we hire Gus Poyet for the next 45 minutes? Liverpool need a real miracle.

"That has sealed it. You can see the elation on Vincent Kompany's face, and he is a great player. He's been the best centre-back in the Premier League for the last few seasons. The ball bobbled to Kompany in the box, and though it wasn't a clean contact it's in the back of the net.

"City are absolutely cruising. The belief they have displayed has been fantastic - at no point did they not think they were going to win this today."

That's 102 league goals for Manchester City now as the fans do the Poznan.

Two more and it's a record.

A Liverpool player has scored. Unfortunately for the Merseysiders, it is Fabio Borini on loan at Sunderland. The Italian loses his man at the near post to meet Adam Johnson's corner and power a header past Gerhard Tremmel.

That is his 10th of the season in all competitions.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and predict that Manchester City will be champions...

It's a Sunday League goal for Premier League Sunday, as a corner hits the back of Edin Dzeko, Vincent Kompany is able to turn and toe-poke home from two yards out. Start the coronation...

Liverpool are keen to get back on track - Raheem Sterling flashes one just wide from the edge of the box.

Kyle, Anfield: Easy to set a team up to defend? Rodgers can't even set his defence up to defend.

A flying start for the Toffees, with Leon Osman sliding a cute pass through to Romelu Lukaku who bullies Paul McShane off the ball before rifling home 48 seconds into the second period.

Back under way...

Is this a worry for England? Jon Flanagan is off at half-time, with Aly Cissokho taking his place.
