City win fourth Premier League title in five years
City sealed the win on the final game of the season - Victory parade Monday night
Last updated 23rd May 2022
Manchester City have been crowned Premier League champions after coming back from being 2-0 down with a dramatic 3-2 win over Aston Villa.
The winning side scored 3 goals in 5 minutes in what was a tense and heated second half.
Needing to win to be assured of holding off Liverpool, City were in danger of blowing it as Matty Cash and former Reds star Philippe Coutinho struck at the Etihad Stadium.
Yet Pep Guardiola's side showed all their champion quality to rally with Ilkay Gundogan coming off the bench to score twice either side of a superb Rodri strike in a remarkable five-minute spell.
City had known that second-placed Liverpool, trailing by just a point, could overtake them with victory over Wolves and there were times in the afternoon when they lived on their nerves.
When they trailed by two, Liverpool were being held 1-1 and news of another goal at Anfield at that stage, could have been a hammer blow.
Yet in remarkable final-day drama, City cast off the shackles of a dismal first-half display to turn the game around and render Liverpool's eventual win academic.
A victory parade has already been planned for this evening (Monday 23rd May) - at 6pm.
It will start at Exchange Square and then travel onto St Mary’s Gate and then south on Deansgate, before concluding with a stage show at the Beetham Tower.
