Manchester City retained the Premier League title in the most dramatic of fashion as they hauled themselves back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 with three goals in the final 15 minutes.
Etihad started to lose hope, Pep Guardiola made a couple of strategic replacements. Ilkay Gundogan supplanted Bernardo Silva and Raheem Sterling displaced Riyad Mahrez.
The ploy received moment benefits as Gundgan and Sterling consolidated to pull a goal back. Sterling was presented for width and the Gundogan for spatial mindfulness, and expectation inside the case, which is more likened to traditional poacher.
Past seasons have seen him being utilized as double pivot at the foundation of midfield, yet since the center of the last season, he has been retooled as a crate to-box midfielder with an eye for the goal.
Ilkay Gundogan came off the bench to score twice with Rodri also on target as Pep Guardiola’s men held off Liverpool’s title charge to win the league by a point.
Manchester City won their fourth Premier League title in five years on Sunday after beating Aston Villa 3-2 at home on the final day of the season.
