Manchester City became the first team to successfully defend the Premier League title in 10 years as a 4-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion ensured the trophy returned to the Etihad Stadium despite Liverpool’s win over Wolves.
Not since Alex Ferguson guided Manchester United to back-to-back titles in 2009 has an English team successfully defended the Premier League crown.
City started the day a point ahead of closest challengers Liverpool but their grasp on the title threatened to slip completely as Brighton took a surprise lead at the Amex Stadium while Sadio Mane’s goal at Anfield had put Liverpool briefly on course for a first English title since 1990.
