The title race in England's Premier League remains very close.

After Liverpool's 1-0 (1-0) win at Newcastle United, Manchester City regained the lead in the table just a few hours later with a 4-0 (1-0) win at Leeds United.

Pep Guardiola's team is one point ahead of Jürgen Klopp and his Reds four games before the end of the season.

Rodrigo put the Cityzens on course for victory with his goal in the 13th minute.

Nathan Aké (54'), Gabriel Jesus (78') and Fernandinho (90') removed all doubts about the next victory.

Previously, former RB Leipzig professional Naby Keita secured Liverpool's success in Newcastle with his goal in the 19th minute.

It was the 12th win in the last 13 league games for Klopp's side.

The cult coach extended his contract with the Reds early on Thursday until June 30, 2026.

Norwich City is now the first relegated team after 0-2 (0-1) at Aston Villa.

Ollie Watkins (41st minute) and Danny Ings (90+3) sealed the final relegation of coach Dean Smith's team with their goals for the hosts.

The coach had replaced the German Daniel Farke in November, but did not manage to make a real sporty turnaround.

Also co-promoted FC Watford can hardly be saved as penultimate.

After the 1:2 (1:0) against fellow competitor FC Burnley, the traditional club is twelve points short of a saving 17th place.

Ancelotti's complete collection of titles

Meanwhile, Real Madrid is already Spanish football champions for the 35th time.

The royals secured the title with a 4-0 (2-0) win over Espanyol Barcelona four games before the end of the season.

The pursuers FC Sevilla and FC Barcelona can no longer catch up with the record champions in the final sprint.

With two goals in the 33rd and 43rd minutes, the Brazilian Rodrygo set the course for the hosts before the break.

Marco Asensio (55th) and Karim Benzema (81st) made everything clear.

The hosts could even afford to rest their top stars Benzema and Toni Kroos on the bench for an hour.

Real coach Carlo Ancelotti thus completed his collection of titles in the five major European leagues.

After championships in Italy with AC Milan, England with Chelsea, France with Paris Saint-Germain and Germany with Bayern Munich, the 62-year-old has now also won Spain's league.

During his first tenure at Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015, he was denied the championship title.

The next goal for Real is to win the Champions League again.

After the 3: 4 in the semi-final first leg at Manchester City, the record winner wants to make it into the final in the second leg on Wednesday (9 p.m. / in the FAZ live ticker for the Champions League and on DAZN).

Ancelotti had already described the championship title as an additional motivation.

"If we manage to win the title on Saturday, we will of course celebrate," said the Italian.

"I think that would help us for the game against Manchester City."
