Manchester City's 7 most notable victories on way to Premier League title

Manchester City have been crowned champions for a third time in seven seasons following their victory over rivals United


The Premier League title is heading back to the Etihad.


Manchester City have been crowned champions for a third time in seven seasons after bottom club West Brom's shock with over rivals United.
It has been a dream season for City, who have suffered just one defeat so far this season.
That came against Liverpool but City have won an incredible 29 of their 33 matches to date.

Here, we take a look back at some of their most notable victories on the way to the Premier League title.

September 5 - Man City 5-0 Liverpool

Leroy Sane celebrates

After opening their campaign with three successive wins, City then made a serious statement with this thrashing of one of their chief rivals.
Sergio Aguero put them ahead and before Liverpool had Sadio Mane sent off following a collision with Ederson. Gabriel Jesus and Leroy Sane scored two each as the Reds were torn apart.

September 16 - Watford 0-6 Man City

Raheem Sterling celebrates

Arguably the performance that pleased the eye most all season, with City at their most fluid and exhilarating.

Aguero scored a sublime hat-trick while there were further goals for Jesus, Nicolas Otamendi and – from the penalty spot – Raheem Sterling.
Within a few more weeks they had also thrashed Crystal Palace 5-0 and routed Stoke 7-2.

September 30 - Chelsea 0-1 Man City


City's players celebrate
As well as demolishing some sides, Pep Guardiola’s men showed they could prise open the most stubborn of opponents.
Their slender victory at Stamford Bridge was just such a case.
City dominated but it took a spectacular strike from Kevin De Bruyne to settle the affair.

November 26 - Man City 2-1 Southampton

Raheem Sterling celebrates scoring the winner against Southampton
Having seen some of their rivals cut open by City in the early part of the season, teams began to adopt more defensive mindsets against them in the late autumn.
It was a difficult spell, but ultimately City still prevailed, grinding out victories over Huddersfield, Southampton and West Ham.
The victory over Saints seemed psychologically critical, coming with a stunning Sterling winner deep into injury time that sparked jubilant scenes.

December 10 - Man United 1-2 Man City

Otamendi celebrates

The headlines may have been dominated by a post-match fracas outside the dressing room, but City took a decisive step towards the title by beating their rivals at Old Trafford to establish an 11-point lead at the top.
David Silva and Otamendi capitalised on defensive mistakes to secure victory for dominant City either side of a Marcus Rashford strike.

December 16 - Man City 4-1 Tottenham

Gundogan celebrates

De Bruyne produced an inspired display as City again showed their class by hammering Spurs.
The Belgian got on the scoresheet after Ilkay Gundogan netted first while Sterling grabbed two more after Jesus missed a penalty.

March 1 - Arsenal 0-3 Man City

City's players celebrate

The title race became a procession as Arsenal, the second time in a four days after losing the Carabao Cup final, allowed City to coast to victory at the Emirates Stadium.
Bernardo Silva, David Silva and Sane were on target as sublime City effectively got the job done inside 33 minutes.

Ernesto Valverde has overseen one of the most impressive defensive seasons in recent memory, and  Barcelona  have now set a brand new unbeaten record in LaLiga after taking their run to 39 matches without defeat. Suarez breaks the deadlock The leaders, fresh from a shock Champions League exit to Roma , led when Philippe  Coutinho played in Luis Suarez to beat Neto at his near post. They looked comfortable when Samuel Umtiti headed in Coutinho's corner. But the visitors gave them a late scare when Dani Parejo's penalty squirmed underneath Marc-Andre ter Stegen after Ousmane Dembele fouled Andreas Pereira. Ter Stegen was at the centre of the game's other dramatic moment - when he gifted the ball to Valencia's Carlos Soler but then brilliantly saved Rodrigo's shot onto the crossbar. Barca, who are now six results from the first unbeaten 38-game La Liga season, only need seven more points to seal the Spanish title. They face Sevilla in ...
