Manchester city 3-2 Aston Villa: Man City Claim Sixth Title After Dramatic Fightback

Man City's Coach, Players and fans couldn't holdback their joy of victory after dramatic comeback

Manchester City staged a dramatic fightback to claim a sixth Premier League title, scoring three times in less than six minutes to turn around their match at home to Aston Villa.

City went 2-0 down through goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho and the home fans were fearful of the title slipping through their hands. Liverpool at that stage were still behind them in the table, drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton Wanderers after conceding a third-minute goal to Pedro Neto, before Sadio Mane levelled before half-time.

Another Liverpool goal would have lifted them into top spot and handed them the trophy.

But, in similar fashion to City's first title when they trailed to Queens Park Rangers at home on the final day, City were to stage a brilliant comeback.

Two goals from substitute Ilkay Gundogan and another from Rodri, all inside five minutes and 36 seconds, turned the match on its head, and made Liverpool's eventual 3-1 victory academic.
