Premier League 2018/19 - 5 games that defined the title race 

#1 Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool- January 3rd

Fine margins cost Liverpool the title

Of course, perhaps the most vital game of the Premier League season, the one that really changed the tide of the title race, came when the two teams chasing the title met at the start of January.

'Fine margins' has been the phrase used by Manchester City's social media sites over the last week and there were fewer margins finer than the one that kept out Sadio Mane's effort at the Etihad, with the ball being a mere 11 millimetres away from crossing the line.

Guardiola's men would go on to punish that near miss, with Sane scoring perhaps the most important goal of the Premier League season late in the game to pick up the victory for Man City following earlier goals from Sergio Aguero and Robert Firminio.

The game saw Manchester City cut Liverpool's lead from 7 points to 4 and slowly begin to swing momentum back in their favour.

This was also Liverpool's only defeat of the season, meaning that had they won this game, they would have finished the season with the trophy, 100 points and an unbeaten league campaign. Fine margins indeed.
