Premier League Table 2014/15: The Race for the Title
The Premier League is the most competitive league in the world, and the 2014/15 season was no exception. The title race went down to the wire, with Chelsea ultimately emerging victorious.
Chelsea began the season as favorites, having won the league the previous year. They started the season strongly, winning their first five games. However, they then hit a rough patch, losing three of their next four games. This allowed Manchester City to close the gap, and the two teams were level on points at the top of the table at the end of December.
Chelsea regained their form in the new year, and they won eight of their next nine games. This gave them a five-point lead over Manchester City, and they looked set to cruise to the title. However, Manchester City refused to give up, and they won their last seven games of the season. This meant that Chelsea needed to win their final game of the season, away to Crystal Palace, to secure the title.
Chelsea started the game well, and they took the lead in the first half. However, Crystal Palace fought back in the second half, and they equalized with just minutes remaining. This meant that Chelsea needed to score again to win the title.
In the dying minutes of the game, Eden Hazard scored a stunning goal to give Chelsea the win. This goal secured Chelsea the Premier League title, and it was a fitting end to a thrilling season.
