Manchester City are champions of England again!

Pep Guardiola’s men came from a goal down at the Amex, to defeat Brighton 4-1 and retained their Premier League title.

City came into the final game of the season one point ahead of Liverpool and knowing that only a win could assure them of retaining title.

However, it was Glenn Murray that opened scoring, before Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan settled the game.

Liverpool won 2-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their home game, while Cardiff shocked Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford.

Arsenal saw off Burnley 3-1 at Turf Moor and Leicester City held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw at the King Power Stadium.

Club captain Vincent Kompany kissed the trophy as his teammates appeared on stage in front of cheering supporters on Sunday night.

Fireworks exploded in the sky above the stadium after City won the title with 98 points – just one greater than second place Liverpool.

Speaking after the game, City captain Vincent Kompany said: “I’m so happy for myself but for the team and the fans too, it’s wonderful.

“We were magnificent, we did everything we needed to do… we’ve got an incredible desire to overachieve and now we’re looking forward to the FA Cup final. “I’m so proud of the guys.”

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola congratulated Liverpool on their season and thanked them for pushing his team further.

“We have to say congratulations to Liverpool as well, and thank you so much, because they helped us to push and increase our standards.

“It’s been an incredible season for us… I think Manchester City has made the standard higher and Liverpool has helped us keep it there.”

It was an anxious start to the afternoon for Sky Blues fans as Liverpool’s Sadio Mane put the Reds ahead 17 minutes into their match. Ten minutes later Brighton’s Glen Murray put the ball in the back of Manchester City’s net.
