What were the 10 best Premier League moments of 2016?
As the curtain comes down on a thrilling year, we make our picks.
Watch the selection below…
Van Gaal takes a tumble
Under-fire Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal caused hilarity during the 3-2 win over Arsenal at Old Trafford when he took a dive in the dugout in protest at some of Arsenal's theatrics.
Rashford's breakthrough
United's 3-2 win over Arsenal was also memorable for local lad Marcus Rashford's remarkable two-goal Premier League debut.
Battle of the Bridge
Chelsea and Tottenham's ill-tempered 2-2 draw in May became known as the Battle of the Bridge, and with Eden Hazard's equaliser, it was also the game that clinched Leicester the title.
Bye-bye Boleyn
After 112 years at the Boleyn Ground, West Ham United waved goodbye to their old stadium with a thrilling 3-2 win over Manchester United.
Benitez to Newcastle
Newcastle pulled off a major coup when they appointed Rafael Benitez, and they surprised everyone again when they convinced him to stay at St James' Park despite their relegation to the Championship.
Sunderland's great escape
The Black Cats looked dead and buried last season, but Sam Allardyce steered them to survival by only losing one of their final 11 games of the campaign.
Leicester lift the title
Without doubt the most iconic achievement in 2016 was Claudio Ranieri's Leicester defying 5000-1 odds to lift the Premier League trophy.
Mourinho's return
After a protracted saga which dragged on for months, Jose Mourinho finally returned to the Premier League as successor to Louis van Gaal at Manchester United.
Pep is unveiled
In the month that Graziano Pelle became the latest star to head for China, the Premier League finally welcomed Pep Guardiola in July as he was unveiled to an adoring Manchester City public.
Pogback
A few months after Mourinho's appointment, Manchester United smashed the world record with a £93.25m deal to re-sign Paul Pogba from Juventus.
