Manchester City Wins Premier League Title With Shocking Comeback

• Manchester City won the Premier League title for the 4th time in 5 years on Sunday.

• Pep Guardiola’s side came from two goals down to claim a 3-2 win over Aston Villa at the Etihad.

• The win denied Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool the opportunity to win a quadruple this season.

Manchester City survived a scare against Aston Villa on Sunday, to claim the premier league title for the 4th time in the past 5 seasons. The citizens claimed a 3-2 win at the Etihad to stop Liverpool from snatching the trophy.

The final day of the Premier League season started with Manchester City being one point ahead and having a +6 goal difference on Liverpool. Liverpool required a slip up from Guardiola’s men to have any chance of winning the title.

Things seemed to be going the way of Klopp’s men as Manchester City was 2 goals down against Villa, going into the final 16 minutes of the game. Then City staged a rousing comeback to win the game 3-2.

Substitute Ilkay Gundogan started the fight back with a 76th minute goal. Rodri then equalised four minutes later before Gundogan scored again to complete the comeback.
