With the destiny of the 2021/22 Premier League Trophy going down to the final day, we look at the eight previous times the title was decided at the death.
1994/95
What was at stake?
Blackburn Rovers travelled to Anfield on the final day, 14 May 1995, holding a two-point lead over Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson's team had a superior goal difference and knew a win at West Ham United would seal a hat-trick of Premier League titles if Liverpool did them a rare favour by getting a result against Rovers.
How it unfolded
Rovers went ahead at Anfield but the pressure got to Kenny Dalglish's leaders, who were beaten 2-1 by a 90th-minute Jamie Redknapp free-kick.

News leaked through to the Boleyn Ground, where United were still drawing 1-1 with West Ham and knew a goal would crown them champions.
They threw everything at the Hammers' goal but could not find a way past an inspired Ludek Miklosko.
Blackburn lifted the trophy at Anfield to claim their only Premier League title by a point.
