Manchester City retained the Premier League title on Sunday, securing top spot with a 4-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion on the final day of the season.

City finished with 98 points, one ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who finished the campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

City’s contest with Liverpool has been a thing of beauty all season and even on this final day there was a final twist. For 21 minutes Liverpool were champions, as they scored and Brighton took the lead here, but the new world order restored itself with goals by Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte and a wonderful strike by Riyad Mahrez before Ilkay Gundogan’s almost equally as as stunning free-kick.

It meant City claimed a fourth title in eight seasons and, in so doing, became the first team to retain it since Manchester United in 2009 which means a lot to manager Pep Guardiola.
