Manchester City Beat Aston Villa To Win Premier League Title

Category: Sports News

Manchester City won the Premier League title on the last day of the season after a sensational three-goal comeback against Aston Villa saw them pip Liverpool to the crown in dramatic fashion.

City took a one-point lead into the final game, meaning Liverpool needed to beat Wolves and Pep Guardiola’s side had to slip for the Reds to have a chance at lifting the Premier League title.

They looked like blowing their opportunity when Pedro Neto put Wolves ahead after three minutes at Anfield, but Sadio Mane quickly pulled Jurgen Klopp’s men level.

Meanwhile Aston Villa, managed by former Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard, provided his former side with a lifeline when Matty Cash headed in a surprise opener to send shockwaves around the Etihad.

City still held the advantage heading into the second half, yet that quickly changed when ex-Reds star Phillipe Coutinho made it 2-0 for Villa, meaning his old club would be on the cusp of glory by taking the lead against Wolves.

However, the Manchester club then produced one of the most remarkable Premier League finales of all time, scoring three goals in the space of five crazy minutes and storming to their second consecutive title.
