Five key games that made Man City Premier League champions
24.05.2022 - 22:19 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester City never do it the easy way, but a dramatic 3-2 win over Aston Villa on Sunday confirmed Pep Guardiola's side as the Premier League champions for the fourth time in five seasons.
After nine months of hard work, the title was ultimately won in five crazy minutes, with Ilkay Gundogan coming off the bench to score a brace and engrain himself in City folklore.
Matty Cash and ex-Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho gave Steven Gerrard's men a two-goal lead with 15 minutes to play, but the German, either side of Rodri's side-footed finish, turned the game completely on its head to send the Etihad Stadium into wild celebrations.

Amassing 93 points, there have been some vital results along the way. So, in no particular order - and putting to one side Sunday's events - here are the five key games that crowned City the Premier League champions:
Going all the way back to September, City endured a typically slow start to the season and had already dropped points against Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton. They began a horror week - which included trips to PSG and Liverpool - with a visit to Stamford Bridge to face European champions, Chelsea.
Guardiola knew a victory would kickstart City's season and deal a major blow to one of the strong early contenders. In a game that the Blues largely dominated, Gabriel Jesus' excellent turn and finish was enough to take all three points and claim the first real scalp of the season.
It feels strange that two games against Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa may have swung the title in City's favour, but this victory back in the midst of winter was certainly a satisfying one for Guardiola.
