Amidst all this drama there was a moment of poignancy that in a week of violent pitch incursions reminded us that the vast majority of supporters really do know how to behave. Rodri equalised with the next attack and three minutes after that the resurrection was complete, Gundogan bookending the madness to secure City’s eighth title. There was still 20 minutes to go and the feeling that Liverpool would prevail was the salient point here, filling the Etihad with dread. Before that there was a lot of precision huffing and puffing from City but nothing at the end of it. The capacity for rational thought at the Etihad was washed away in five insane minutes that evoked Aguero day in this stadium. There was more chance of turning back the tide than repelling the swollen sea of Manchester City fans drunk on bacchanal spirit.

Manchester City beat Aston Villa 3-2 as Pep Guardiola's side scored three late goals to erase a 2-0 deficit and win the title in incredible fashion.

As for Aston Villa, well, they have a top 10 finish to play for as they can finish in 10th with a win or as low as 14th if they lose. But a draw or defeat leaves the door open for Liverpool (who start the final day just one point behind them) to win the title and keep their incredible quadruple hopes alive. This will be a tense afternoon but nine times out of 10 you’d expect City to win this game comfortably and a few early goals will settle the nerves of the City faithful. Manchester City know a win at home against Aston Villa on the final day will secure the Premier League title for the fourth time in the last five seasons. On paper that should be the case, but it’s the final day of the season. The City team have arrived. Few moans and groans from the City fans after some loose passes. City all over the place defensively. Watkins and Coutinho have a few chances on the break after that opening goal. Of course it was Coutinho. The Etihad Stadium is absolutely stunned. We are now waiting for the newly crowned champions to come back out onto the pitch and lift the trophy. Fernandinho is then given a special ceremony as that was the 37-year-old’s final game for Man City. What an incredible career he’s had and City’s fans serenade him on the pitch as he stands there with his family.

Enjoy the best of the action from City's stunning Premier League title decider at home to Aston Villa.

A stunning turnaround was then sealed on 81 minutes when Gundogan fired home Kevin De Bruyne's teasing cross to spark scenes of absolute mayhem in the Etihad and so seal the most memorable of title triumphs. Substitute Ilkay Gundogan launched the fightback with a 76th minute header and two minutes later we were level through Rodri's sweet strike. And a stunning return of three goals inside five minutes not only turned the game on its head but delivered a fourth Premier League crown in five years.

But that was soon to change as Villa, managed by former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, provided a twist in the storyline.
