Congratulations to Man City! They succeed in defending the Premier League champions and become the first one to retain it after Man Utd did it in 2009.
Match Report
Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan were all on target as Man City made it consecutive Premier Leauge triumphs.
Manchester City came from behind to claim back-to-back Premier League titles with a 4-1 win at Brighton and Hove Albion.
Knowing only a final day victory could guarantee glory at the expense of Jurgen Klopp's relentless Liverpool, Pep Guardiola's men were stunned by a 27th-minute Glenn Murray opener.
Final-day specialist Sergio Aguero found a response within 83 seconds and Aymeric Laporte converted Riyad Mahrez's 38th-minute corner to put City back in control of their destiny.
Mahrez, a surprise selection after an underwhelming debut season at the Etihad Stadium, made good on his record-signing status and Ilkay Gundogan added further gloss for the raucous travelling supporters who have now seen their team prevail in four of the past eight Premier League seasons.
Match Events
27' GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Man City (Murray)
MURRAY HEADS HOME!!! 1-0!! If City were under pressure before they certainly are now as Murray hands the Seagulls the lead.
The delivery from Gross is perfect towards the near post, allowing Murray to get ahead of his man to convert with a close-range header.
28' GOAL! Brighton 1-1 Man City (Aguero)
City have responded immediately to ease the nerves once again and it's that man Aguero.
David Silva's flick gets Aguero, who is onside, in behind the Brighton defence and fires the ball under Ryan to bring the scores level.
38' GOAL! Brighton 1-2 Man City (Laporte)
Delight for City! They have turned things around in the blink of an eye!
From the resultant corner, Laporte loses his man and he has the easiest of finishes, heading Mahrez's cross down and into the back of the net.
63' GOAL! Brighton 1-3 Man City (Mahrez)
Mahrez raids to the edge of the box and beats one challenge with a neat piece of skill. The space is there for him to fire at goal on his right foot.
He connects with his effort and he finds the top corner as the ball beats the hand of Ryan. The City bench erupts on the sideline.
72' GOAL! Brighton 1-4 Man City (Gundogan)
THE TITLE IS SURELY CITY'S NOW!!! GUNDOGAN SCORES A STUNNER!! 4-1!!!
Gundogan scores City's fourth of the afternoon with a brilliant free-kick from 25 yards.
He curls his effort over the wall and it has enough bend to travel inside the post to nestle into the back of the net beyond the despairing dive of Ryan.

Um...ladies and gentlemen, my name is Pep Guardiola, and I'm the one behind the one who conquered the one who thought he was the one to beat the 20 teams in 1 Last night at Amex stadium, my client didn't just beat, didn't just victimize; my client conquered the titleholder, which affords me, Pep Guardiola , the opportunity to proclaim myself the advocate for the brand new, reigning, defending, undisputed ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE Champion of the World,MANCHESTER CITY!!!!!!!

Thanks you Liverpool for the challenge and the pressure. I must admit it was an exciting, breathtaking and thrilling season so far watching Klopp and Guardiola go toe-to-toe for the title till this very final moment where City proved their dominance of the most competitive title race we've ever witnessed in the EPL era. I must confess Liverpool has been amazing and almost made us thought we couldn't defend our title but Pep proved why he's the GOAT among coaches and I just can't explain these tears of Joy I feel right now π’π’πππ, but we the Manchester City community & fans wish to share this beautiful title with the wonderful Liverpool team and fans and I wish Liverpool all the best of luck in the UCL and I pray they win it because they really deserve a trophy this season for they wonderful work,,,, see you next season[Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh]

The last time Liverpool won the English premier league, by then Pep Guardiola was still in high school. Pep has grown up to be a coach and win the EPL trophy π back to back, and Liverpool still havenβt win the trophy for 30 years. Liverpool this season believes in beautiful failure. They enjoy all the hypes and hullabaloos. Now is time for them to talk about their past glories. And speak against Man City βarab money, oil moneyβ as usual their same fiasco talks. Congratulations MAN CITY. Liverpool come again next season.
