MANCHESTER CITY RETAINS ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE TITLES IN TWO SUCCESSIVE SEASON

Manchester City held the Premier League title in style on Sunday, holding their nerve to dig out from a deficit against Brighton and see off a charging Liverpool after an exciting campaign. 

Pep Guardiola's side thumped Brighton 4-1 away to finish on 98 points — the second-most noteworthy aggregate in Premier League history, as Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 at Anfield to complete a solitary, anguishing, point loose. 

Liverpool drew first blood on Sunday, with Sadio Mane striking in the 17th minute to put them automatically top of the table and on course for their first English top-flight title since 1990, before the Premier League era even started.

City fans' nerves were destroyed significantly further when Glenn Murray place Brighton in front from a corner in the 27th minute, bringing about a huge roar at Anfield. 

Be that as it may, those cheers were immediately muted, with Guardiola's side fires back only 83 seconds later, Aguero remaining onside and keeping his cool to finish after a brilliant ball from David Silva. 

After ten minutes, the unmarked Aymeric Laporte rose to head in Riyad Mahrez's corner to finish the turnaround for City. 

Guardiola's side kept on overwhelming toward the beginning of the second half and were compensated when Mahrez crushed in a third goal with 27 minutes to go. 

Ilkay Gundogan then impacted home a free-kick to put the outcome certain. 

City broke a host of Premier League records in romping to the title last season, becoming the first team in English top-flight history to reach 100 points and finishing a record 19 points clear of closest rivals Manchester United.

This term has been a totally different campaign, with Guardiola's men compelled to dig profound to see off the persistent challenge of Liverpool, who have lost only one Premier League game all season. 

The champion have ground out 1-0 victories in recent week against Leicester City, indicating they have added steel to their style.

The result was cruel on Liverpool, who are second behind just Manchester United in the all-time list of English champion with 18 titles, in spite of the fact that the last came in 1990. 

The Merseysiders' focuses count is the third-most noteworthy in Premier League history. 

Jurgen Klopp's side made a trip to face City at the Etihad in January with the opportunity to open up a 10-point lead yet the defending Champions won 2-1 in what ended up being the significant match of the campaign.

Liverpool endured a blip in late January and February, held to a progression of draws, yet they found their form again and tirelessly harried City, completing with nine straight league game wins. 

Klopp's team should put the mistake behind them as they get ready to face Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final in Madrid on June 1. 

Somewhere else on the last day of Premier League activity, Tottenham made numerically sure of a spot in the top four, drawing 2-2 against Everton. 

Arsenal beat Burnley 3-1 while individual Europa League finalists Chelsea were held to a goalless draw at Leicester.
