Man City vs Aston Villa

Midfielder emerges from the bench to score twice late on as City come from two goals behind to clinch the Premier League on a remarkable final day, ...

Amidst all this drama there was a moment of poignancy that in a week of violent pitch incursions reminded us that the vast majority of supporters really do know how to behave. Rodri equalised with the next attack and three minutes after that the resurrection was complete, Gundogan bookending the madness to secure City’s eighth title. There was still 20 minutes to go and the feeling that Liverpool would prevail was the salient point here, filling the Etihad with dread. Before that there was a lot of precision huffing and puffing from City but nothing at the end of it. The capacity for rational thought at the Etihad was washed away in five insane minutes that evoked Aguero day in this stadium. There was more chance of turning back the tide than repelling the swollen sea of Manchester City fans drunk on bacchanal spirit.

Man City 3-2 Aston Villa: Pep Guardiola's side were two goals down but scored three in six minutes to retain the title.

The longer City went without a proper chance, the more it was their crowd who were tested, with that tension starting to transmit to the pitch. In a move so reminiscent of Jamie Mackie’s goal for QPR on that famous day in 2012, Lucas Digne surged down the left to cross for Matty Cash. The classic subtext of afternoons like this is that the superior side are almost playing themselves, and their own issues, as much as the opposition. With Guardiola’s nervous backline again exposed by a basic ball up, the Brazilian was put clean through on goal. The mood had changed again. Olsen looked there to be tested, but that was the thing. Even the Belgian, however, was snatching at things. The element that really elevates the drama of such afternoons – or makes it excruciating, depending on your perspective – is just how visibly and drastically the psychology swings on key moments. They produced a final day for the ages. It was just equally impossible to escape the pure sporting drama. By 81 minutes, he’d hit a second and City’s third, to swing the title back to Manchester again. It didn’t go as late as that day against Queens Park Rangers, but it did have the same 3-2 final score, from even more a flurry.

Will Manchester City cinch the title on the final day, or will they slip-up and hand it to Liverpool? Find out with Rob Smyth.

If they don’t, and Liverpool win against Wolves at Anfield, City will endure the nightmare of a trophyless season - not to mention a potential Liverpool quadruple - and Pep Guardiola will be just another bald fraud in a world full of them. City are yet to win three titles in a row, but four in five is the next best thing. Even in England, where things are relatively competitive, this is only the ninth time it has occurred in 30 years of the Premier League. On the last four occasions, starting in 2012, City have been top of the league going into the final games. For City, the presence of Steven Gerrard, Philippe Coutinho and even Danny Ings at Villa has given this game an unnervingly whiffy narrative. A Harvard study proved categorically that, had Pearce been playing for any football club in Christendom at the time, he would have scored that penalty. 10 min McGinn retrieves a loose ball on the right and curls in a good cross towards the six-yard line.
