Man City

Manchester City produced a simply stunning comeback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 and win the English Premier League on Sunday.

With fans still celebrating, Gundogan struck again in the 81st to cap off one of the most chaotic passages of play in Premier League history. Its win against Wolves on Sunday proved academic in the end. City's victory comes ten years after Sergio Aguero opened the floodgates to a decade of success at Manchester City, scoring a last-gasp goal on the final day of the season to win his side the league title. While players ran to the tunnel, City supporters danced on the pitch and even broke one of the goals as a spine-tingling rendition of the club's famous anthem, Blue Moon, filled the air. Fans, many of which had their heads in their hands for much of the game, ran onto the pitch at full-time to celebrate winning a title race like no other. The host knew a win on the final day of the season would guarantee the title and, despite going 2-0 down, it scored three goals in five second-half minutes to send the Etihad Stadium into delirium.

Man City were crowned Premier League champions in the most dramatic circumstances, while Spurs landed fourth and Burnley were relegated.

Put simply, a win at the Etihad will be enough for Pep Guardiola's side, but failure to do so would open the way for Klopp's team to take the title and keep their hopes of an unprecedented quadruple alive. If City lose and Liverpool draw, it then goes down to goal difference, but it would require City to lose by seven goals for Liverpool to finish top. A burst forward by Raul Jimenez caught Liverpool out and the Mexico forward squared for Neto to tap in at the far post in front of The Kop.-- Mark Ogden Either title number 20, a domestic treble and 3/4 of the way to the Quadruple or the end of an improbable dream. There is still a bit of nervousness among the fans inside the stadium, although most are happy to see that it's Robin Olsen in goal for Aston Villa rather than Emi Martinez. Olsen hasn't played for Villa since joining on loan in January. His last club game was playing for Sheffield United in a 3-1 defeat to Blackburn in November. He's just kicked the ball out of play with his first touch. The danger for City now is that they have to throw men forward to get a goal but Ollie Watkins is still causing a lot of problems at the other end. An incredible and unexpected start to the final day as Liverpool fall behind against Wolves at Anfield inside the first three minutes. The energy in the atmosphere was already beginning to drift away but after that Villa goal it's completely gone. Mings has already been spoken to by Michael Oliver. Zinchenko has been up off the bench trying to lift the City fans. It may still work out for City today but it says a lot about Grealish's first season here that he's going to be a spectator for the biggest game of the season Some Man City fans starting to leave. Will regular taker Harry Kane step up to make this game completely safe at 3-0 or will he hand the ball to Son for a possible slice of personal glory? Son gets his goal to move level with Salah in the Golden Boot race.

Manchester City have made it four Premier League titles in five seasons under Pep Guardiola. How does their all-time record stack up among English ...

The result was an English record 21-game winning run across all competitions and another title race blown to pieces — a 4-1 win over an ailing Liverpool at Anfield in February serving as an emphatic exclamation point. The only blot on the season was a 3-2 defeat from 2-0 up against United at the Etihad Stadium in April, when a victory would have seen City crowned with victory over their bitter rivals. Aguero and Leroy Sane scored either side of Roberto Firmino to give City a stirring 2-1 win. By the time the teams met at the Etihad Stadium in January 2019, they were seven points ahead of Guardiola’s men at the summit. They fell eight points behind United with six games remaining but bounced back to win all of them, including Vincent Kompany heading the winner in a high-stakes Manchester derby to set up the remarkable denouement. Manager Wilf Wild added a maiden league title in 1936/37, with City plundering 107 goals over the course of the campaign — forward duo Peter Doherty and Eric Brook being responsible for 50 of those.

Manchester City clinched a sixth Premier League title in 11 seasons on Sunday by scoring three times in five minutes to come from behind to beat Aston Villa ...

City was fined $12 million US in 2020 for obstructing a UEFA investigation into its finances following leaks of internal correspondence at the club. The teams entered the final round on Sunday with City 32 points ahead of United and with Liverpool the greater threat to Guardiola's side. Yet, City was able to break the British transfer record to sign Jack Grealish for 100 million pounds ($139 million) even though the midfielder only started sparingly. But we had to do the simple things and scoring two goals quickly and then having 10 minutes to score the third one gave us the right lift. Liverpool had been locked at 1-1 against Wolverhampton but Mohamed Salah then put the second-place team 2-1 in front in the 84th minute. The importance of that goal became clearer moments later.

Yet, City was able to break the British transfer record to sign Jack Grealish for 100 million pounds ($139 million) and still not bring the midfielder off the bench on Sunday against his former club. “He always knows where the ball is going to be in and around the box. “This is the Man City spirit,“ departing captain Fernandinho said. Liverpool had been locked at 1-1 against Wolverhampton but Mohamed Salah then put the second-place team 2-1 in front in the 84th minute. But we had to do the simple things and scoring two goals quickly and then having 10 minutes to score the third one gave us the right lift.“ İlkay Gündoğan’s header began the comeback in the 76th minute and Rodri equalized two minutes later by placing the ball through a tight gap into the bottom corner.

MANCHESTER, England — Manchester City issued an apology for what the club described as an assault on Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen during a field invasion by City fans celebrating winning the Premier League title on Sunday.

Manchester City staged a stunning late comeback with three goals in five minutes to beat Aston Villa and win the Premier League as their title chances ...

They were heading towards the most bitter disappointment but transformed this day into one they and their supporters will remember forever. The manner in which they turned this game around with the title – and their entire season – on the line was the perfect answer. Manchester City staged a stunning late comeback with three goals in five minutes to beat Aston Villa and win the Premier League as their title chances looked to be slipping away amid dramatic scenes at Etihad Stadium.

Two of Pep Guardiola's squad are awarded 10 out of 10 for their contributions to the club's fourth title in five seasons.

Eight goals from a player signed as a centre-forward is far too low and continues a pattern: in six seasons the Brazilian has managed double figures only twice, registering a high of 14 in 2019-20 and 13 two years before. An undesired penchant for missing chances remains but Sterling can be a game-winner who this season has reverted to the driving-at-defenders forward of his earlier days at City. 8 But factor in how he can operate across attack and in midfield and how Guardiola often plumps for him as the false 9 and a richer understanding is allowed of a footballer whose ability to dazzle can suck the air from any onlooker. From full-back (mainly the left flank) Cancelo is a creative force with an eye for a pass and his geometric awareness of traffic and space is Toni Kroos-like. If Cancelo can be caught out via a quick counterattack this is a byproduct of City’s high line. What he offers is metronomic reliability and a teak-tough mentality: how the Ukrainian has performed so superbly during the harrowing invasion of his homeland by Russia is admirable. This is credit, too, to the rest of the rearguard and the attacking players: the 83 goals scored in 2020-21 has been eclipsed with 99.

As is the tradition for Premier League title winners, Manchester City will parade the trophy through Manchester for their fans.

Leeds saved themselves from relegation on the final day after beating Brentford 2-1. Man City advises: “As this is a non-ticketed event, we suggest fans arrive early to get the best possible viewing experience. “The council are happy to support the parade and expect a memorable occasion as tens of thousands of fans gather in the city centre to share the moment.”

Manchester City have created yet more history by following up last season's hat-trick of Premier League titles in the same season by retaining the three ...

Having already retained our Under-18 Premier League North crown earlier this month, finishing the season 10 points clear of Liverpool, City then followed that fine triumph up last week by winning the National crown for an unprecedented third time in a row. And we sealed a second successive title in late April in front of 21,000 fans at Leeds’ Elland Road ground as we swept to a 3-1 win with City eventually finishing the season six points clear of West Ham. The first of our title successes was confirmed late last month when Brian Barry-Murphy’s Elite Development Squad retained our Premier League 2 crown.

"This season is absolutely incredible and will not end today, it ends next week obviously," he said. "I am proud but I'm disappointed of course as well," he said. "I know it's tough, but they helped us become a better team season by season." "We face an incredibly experienced team but that's OK, that's really OK. And of course, losing the league today increased the desire to put it right next week, it increased the desire." "I'm sorry, people have to admit it. But for a while on Sunday it appeared City had blown their chance and the Premier League trophy would be heading to Anfield for the second time in three seasons
