City initially went behind through a header by Glenn Murray, but first half goals from Sergio Aguero and America Laporte ensured City went into the break 2-1 up and on course to win back-to-back titles in their history.


Their championship win was sealed with second half goals from Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan to make it 4-1 and ensure that the title would be staying in Manchester for at least another season.
