City have now won four of the last five Premier League titles and their victory ends Liverpool’s hopes of a unique quadruple of trophies. Juergen Klopp’s side never went top of the ‘live table’ during the afternoon of drama but until City’s revival the destiny of the title was hanging tantalisingly in the balance.

German Gundogan headed in a Raheem Sterling cross before Spanish midfielder Rodri drove into the bottom corner. Gundogan then completed the turnaround, tapping in a low cross from Kevin De Bruyne at the back post. “When you win the Premier League in this country four times in five seasons it is because these guys are so, so special. We will be remembered.

“Congratulations to Man City and Pep Guardiola. Thank you to Aston Villa and Wolverhampton for making a proper game of it,” said Klopp.“You can’t do more than give your absolute best and that’s what the boys did again. We chased the best team in the world to the wire, that’s absolutely special. We’ll build a team again and go again.”
