Manchester City are PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS!

Manchester City won the English Premier League title on Sunday after rivals Manchester United stumbled to defeat against relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion.

Jose Mourinho's United team had needed to win against West Brom to keep the title race alive but surprisingly lost at home as Jay Rodriguez's header gave the league's bottom side a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.
On Saturday, City had convincingly beaten Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 and manager Pep Guardiola said he was going to play golf with his son rather than watch United play West Brom.
Guardiola's team has lost only two league games this season and if they win their remaining five games would end the campaign with 102 points.

City re-established a 16-point lead at the top of the table on Saturday when they ended a run of three successive defeats with a 3-1 victory away at Tottenham Hotspur.
Because of goal difference, United realistically needed to win all of their six remaining games and hope City lost their last five matches.
The Catalan has now won three titles in three different countries after three La Liga triumphs in Spain with Barcelona and three Bundesliga crowns with Bayern Munich and admitted it was one of his best achievements.
It caps a remarkable Premier League season that has seen City lose just twice thus far and win 28 of their 33 matches with a record-breaking run of 18 successive victories between August and December.

They have equalled the record for quickest title success held by United's 2000-01 team, winning the league with five games remaining.
City need just nine points from their final games to set a new record for most Premier League points while another 11 goals would see them set a new goal-scoring record.
It's the third Premier League success for the club following the titles won in 2012 under Roberto Mancini and 2014 under Manuel Pellegrini with captain Vincent Kompany, David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure involved in all of them.
So as i had said before, England indeed is BLUE!
