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.

Manchester City showed rare vulnerability for a super-club but recovered to win the Premier League and send their fans into raptures.

In that moment he was no longer the world’s greatest manager, no longer the representative of a club or an ideology. The moment the ball hit the net, several hundred City fans immediately stood up and disappeared down to the concourse for a pint, a pie, a cry and a rethink of their life choices. Next it was Oleksandr Zinchenko with the presence of mind to cut the ball back, Rodri with the precision to find the bottom corner. And it felt strangely fitting that at its moment of triumph, Manchester City became its people again. Gündogan sprints for the far corner, pursued by his teammates, the cameras, most of the City bench and the sound of 50,000 people. Guardiola’s first words in his post-match press conference were to pay tribute to the victims. It was there from the first press by Gabriel Jesus, charging down the goalkeeper and forcing him to punt the ball straight out of play. That skittishness was there right from the start. Sometimes it can be hard to glimpse the human face behind this sprawling super-club, with its empire of satellites, its bottomless pockets, its frictionless passing triangles, the sense of something pristine and merciless that you will never quite be able to touch. As delirious fans hurdled the barriers and poured on to the great green expanse, as the goalframe into which City had scored three goals in five minutes caved and snapped under the weight of the throngs atop it, you could already sense the events of the afternoon passing into legend. That victory is the inevitable function of mental fortitude and warrior spirit, and defeat its opposite. The record books will simply log it as another City title: their fourth in five years, Pep Guardiola’s 10th, another silhouette to add to the mural.

Manchester City mounted a sensational comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2 and retain the Premier League title.

These are the days you look back to; it was an unbelievable game.” Rodri equalised two minutes later and Gündoğan put City in front in the 81st minute with a third goal. “We are human beings and after going 2-0 down the chances were just very, very small.

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.

City's 15 mins of madness seals Premier League title as relegation battle ends in last-gasp chaos.
