Manchester City used a ferocious late rally against Aston Villa to beat out Liverpool in one of the closet Premier League title races ever.

Guardiola and Co. will likely be favored to pull off the first Premier League three-peat since Ferguson’s 2006-09 Man United squads next season. The Sky Blues’ six Premier League championships are second to only Manchester United, who own 13. With Manchester City finishing with 93 points and Liverpool with 92, it’s just the seventh time that the first- and second-place teams were separated by one point or fewer. In terms of all-time top-flight English championships, Man City are now in sole possession of fifth with eight, trailing Man United (20), Liverpool (19), Arsenal (13) and Everton (9). City ultimately needed that ferocious comeback to win the title, as Liverpool scored twice in the final six minutes against Wolves for a 3-1 win. “It was an unbelievable game,” Gundogan said, via AP. “We are human beings and, after going 2-0 down, the chances were just very, very small.

The one solace was that Liverpool — starting the day a point behind — was not winning, either. Still, the threat hung in the air: If Liverpool scored another and beat Wolves, and Pep Guardiola’s side did not find a way to win, the title would slip from City’s grasp. With 15 minutes to go on Sunday, the final day of the season, Manchester City was two goals down to Aston Villa, and its Etihad Stadium was full of silence and dread.

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 €10 million ($12 million) in 2020 for obstructing a UEFA investigation into its finances following leaks of internal correspondence at the club. 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. 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. City was trailing 2-0 to Villa until İlkay Gündoğan began the comeback in the 76th. In the last five seasons, the only time City didn’t win the trophy was when Liverpool’s 30-year title drought ended in 2020. Pep Guardiola’s defense of the trophy was secured on the final day in a more jittery way than expected when City briefly had a 14-point lead in January.

The Etihad Stadium erupted in celebrations in the 81st when Gündoğan tapped in Kevin De Bruyne's cross.

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.

Down 2-0 at home to Aston Villa late on, City scored three goals in just over five minutes to win 3-2 and clinch the crown. With Liverpool beating Wolves, 3-1, ...

1-0 to Leeds over Brentford! It's a penalty for the Brazilian, and he finishes with class! The title race is on a knife's edge, so anything could tip it to Liverpool. Its was an easy finish for Kane as Bentencur gets his second assist of the match. Diogo Jota leaves the match and Liverpool will push for a winner. After a miss only minutes before, Dejan Kulusevski gets his second goal of the match. This may be a rotated Everton team with nothing to play for but if they can put in a performance this poor with any collection of players you have to worry about what next season brings. The relegation battle is a goal away from swinging Burnley's way! Leeds had taken the lead, conceded and then got a clinching goal in the 94th minute from Jack Harrison to wrap it up. Here's how the qualification looks for European competitions thanks to the final standings. Mohamed Salah has scored for Liverpool after Matip's header was cleared off the line. Burnley losing meant a draw would have been enough for Leeds, but they left no doubt, ending a five-match winless streak at the most opportune time. With Liverpool beating Wolves, 3-1, City had to win to avoid seeing their title rivals claim glory, and they delivered when it looked like it was slipping away.

Manchester City fought back from two goals down to beat Aston Villa and pip Liverpool to one of the closest-fought Premier League titles in memory.

For all the beautiful, hypnotic football played by Guardiola's team this season, City, a shadow of themselves for three quarters of the game, provided evidence of their resilience when they needed it most. "The players were remarkable for 70 minutes," said Gerrard. "Everything we asked of them they did and more. It was nothing compared to the celebrations at the end. The atmosphere inside the Etihad Stadium had already started to become fraught when Lucas Digne crossed for his opposite full-back Cash to head past Ederson and stun the home fans just before half-time. When Philippe Coutinho, once Anfield's favourite son, scored Villa's second in the 69th minute, some home fans decided it was time to leave. Ten years on from that unforgettable moment from Sergio Aguero at Queen's Park Rangers, City picked themselves up off the floor again and mustered another late comeback to beat Aston Villa 3-2 and clinch the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's side has now won the Premier League for the fourth time in the last five seasons.

The club took points off every other team in the league, though and at one point had a 12-match winning streak that ultimately fortified its place atop the table. One of those was a big one, though, helping spark the comeback from 2–0 down to West Ham on Sunday to salvage the point that put the club in position to clinch Tuesday. Man City won another league title—its second in a row—by overcoming a late two-goal deficit to defeat Aston Villa, 3–2, and hold off Liverpool’s charge on the final day of the season.

Manchester City have released a statement apologizing to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olson after he was assaulted amid a pitch invasion at the Etihad ...

"But I think you should ask Pep [Guardiola] and Man City those questions." It read: "Manchester City would like to sincerely apologize to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who was assaulted after the final whistle at today's match when fans entered the pitch. Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard was furious after his side's 3-2 loss to Manchester City but it had nothing to do with the match.

El título de la Premier League despeja la posibilidad de un año en blanco para el City, que había quedado rezagado en la Copa de la Liga, la FA Cup y la UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City has successfully defended its Premier League title by beating Aston Villa 3-2 on the final day of the season.

“The season was so close, so tight,” Klopp said. “I can imagine it was much worse for the people at home watching on their tellies," Klopp said. Once the field was cleared, the Premier League trophy could be handed to City for the sixth time in 11 seasons. It took İlkay Gündoğan’s header to begin the comeback in the 76th and Rodri equalized two minutes later by striking from the edge of the penalty area, placing the ball through a tight gap into the bottom corner. Liverpool — the only team to disrupt City's run of titles since 2018 with its 2020 success — had to settle for second place. Soon the stadium was cloaked in blue smoke.

Liverpool finishes one point back in the standings, its hopes of an unprecedented quadruple dashed.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, the City player who is from Ukraine, was overcome as he wrapped the league trophy in the Ukrainian flag. Here’s what that means for the USMNT. Ilkay Gündogan, on as a substitute for Bernardo Silva, scored on a far-post header in the 76th minute, followed by Rodri’s two minutes after that and another by Gündogan in the 81st minute. “It was an unbelievable game,” Gündoğan said ( via the Associated Press). “We are human beings and, after going 2-0 down, the chances were just very, very small. Aston Villa goalie Robin Olsen was struck several times as he sought to leave the field. Liverpool can still win three; it faces Real Madrid on Saturday in the Champions League final in Paris. Jurgen Klopp, the team’s manager, took the turn of events Sunday in stride, telling NBC, “If you want to win big, you have to be ready to lose big.”

In some ways, it was nice of them to not drag it out. This is still when it was all slipping away for City, and they’re inch-perfect to prevent it from doing so. And yet as soon as the first one went in, you could see the resignation go through the entire Villa team. And once the blood starts gushing, there isn’t a tourniquet to be found. Using water as the resistance method means it’s easier to adjust, lighter overall, and longer-lasting too. A steady build-up of passes in the opposing half, and then an open run and pass to a player streaking toward the byline just inside the penalty area, a pull-back to either the edge of the six-yard box or through it, tap-in. Forcing an opponent to essentially line guys along the goal line to prevent the usual assist and leave space for a shot from just outside the area. Of course, the complaint of boredom or repetitiveness is patently ridiculous, because it’s even more impressive that almost all of City’s opponents know what’s coming, and yet are helpless to do anything about it. In the league, they know they’ll find a way. And even if you stop that one method, and so few do, they’ll pull it back to the edge of the area for someone else to pass it in from 20 yards. There are roughly 12,000 clubs across the globe who would love to score 100 goals per season that all look the same, but when you need to throw stones you’ll throw them at any perceived weakness. It won City the Premier League today.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola described his players as "legends" after they completed one of the most memorable comebacks in English Premier League ...

They played an incredible season and we pushed each other to the limit," he said. This achievement is about much more than buying success. It was a win fitting for the occasion. Spare a thought for Liverpool, though, which pushed this City team to the final minutes of the season and has now been pipped to the Premier League by a single point for the second time in three years. "No explanation in Madrid, no explanation today. I had the feeling this will help us to be stronger next season."

Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions after a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

Firstly, Fernandinho getting physically ousted by Ollie Watkins was out of the equation through his replacement. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to discover that the footballing gods may well have conjured up a game solely for the purpose of debunking a horrifically misguided theory, as Manchester City’s comeback sits on the same table as some of the best fight-backs in the division’s storied history. For a manager that is often on the receiving end of groans from a majority of Manchester City supporters for being economical with his substitutions, this was a mini-victory for the anti-narrative. For Rodri to not only be an insurmountable defensive presence as a lone number six, as well as being a faultless passing hub, his knack for standing tall in the biggest of moments from day one of the season is what possibly sets him apart from the rest. With Manchester City always being a Kyle Walker injury away from not having the best defensive right-back at their disposal, it may be a more astute plan of action for the club to target a player belonging to a similar profile to act as an understudy to the Englishman in the summer, considering ongoing links to Brighton’s Marc Cucurella. Unlike the callous Joao Cancelo - whose biggest weakness was on show in terms of being an excessive risk-taker in possession - the Ukrainian’s decision-making was dictated by the momentum of the contest, restoring a much-needed sense of control in to Manchester City’s build-up.
