After Aston Villa comeback, Man City wins the Premier League in 2021/2022
Manchester City won the Premier League title in glorious way on Sunday, coming back from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 with three goals in the closing 15 minutes.
Pep Guardiola’s side fought off Liverpool’s title challenge by a point thanks to two goals from Ilkay Gundogan, who came off the bench. Rodri also scored.
The winners completed a spectacular comeback at the Etihad Stadium, reminiscent of the first of City’s now six league wins in 11 seasons, when Sergio Aguero struck a 93rd-minute winner to deny Manchester United the title on goal difference.
Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho, both former Liverpool players, scored goals to give the Reds the title.
Jurgen Klopp’s side performed their job by beating Wolves 3-1 at Anfield, but City’s heroics guaranteed Liverpool’s quest for an unprecedented quadruple was ended.
Gundogan began his comeback by heading in a cross from Raheem Sterling at the back post.
Rodri scored from the edge of the box, and Gundogan sealed the comeback by tapping in Kevin De Bruyne’s cross at the back post.
Guardiola stated before the game that he did not want a replay of Sergio Aguero’s famous late strike from a decade ago.
Calatan, on the other hand, was the happiest man in Manchester after winning his 10th league title in just 13 seasons as a coach.
Of full-time, fans flocked to the ground to celebrate, and the crossbar at the goal where City scored all of their goals was snapped beneath the weight of fans seated on it.
