Manchester City overthrow Aston Villa to clinch another title

A completely crazy scenario at the Etihad Stadium which saw Manchester City finally win 3-2 against Aston Villa.

However, it had started very badly for the players of Pep Guardiola.

Led 1-0 before the break after a goal from Matty Cash (37th), the Citizens will then be led 2-0 after a goal from Philippe Coutinho (69th).

The title is getting further and further away but Manchester City will turn the game around and score three goals in less than six minutes.

Ilkay Gündogan who revived the match (76th), before Rodri's equalizer (78th), and a double from the German midfielder (81st).

This third goal which offers the title to Manchester City.

The eighth in club history, the sixth coronation for the SkyBlues since 2012.

Tottenham provide the essentials

Fourth before this last day of the championship, Tottenham only needed a draw to ensure their qualification in the Champions League.

The Spurs do not make any detail against Norwich, last in the championship and already relegated.

Hugo Lloris' teammates won 5-0, including a brace from Heung-Min Son.

The Korean finished co-top scorer of the season with 23 goals, just like a certain Mohamed Salah.

Arsenal, fifth before this final day, did not move, despite their 5-1 victory against Everton.

The Gunners donated to the Europa League.

Leeds run away

18th and relegated to the Championship at kick-off, Leeds saved their skin with a fine 2-1 victory over Brentford, who finished 13th.

A penalty from Raphinha (56th) and a goal from Jack Harrison in stoppage time (90+4), against one from Sergi Canos (78th) allow Leeds to take three points and move up to 17th place in the championship.

The Northern English club will play in the Premier League again next season.

FLOPS

West Ham misses the mark

West Ham could dream big but finally collapsed at the end of the season.

Eliminated in the semi-finals of the last Europa League, the London club has long dreamed of the Champions League and a place in the Top 4 at the end of the season.

Finally, the Hammers will only play the Europa League Conference.

Despite Michail Antonio's opener (40th), the West Ham players collapsed and finally lost 3-1 on Brighton's lawn, which had nothing left to play for.

A bad operation of the Hammers, since at the same time Manchester United lost 1-0 on the lawn of Crystal Palace.

Despite this defeat, the Red Devils will play the Europa League next season.

Burnley misses out

17th before the last day, level on points with Leeds but with a goal difference clearly in their favor, Burnley had their destiny in their hands.

We had to win to ensure maintenance, without having to watch the Leeds match.

Otherwise, you had to at least do better than your direct opponent.

Only, Burnley lost 2-1 at home against Newcastle, yet stuck in the middle of the table.

The "Clarets" finish 18th in the Premier League and accompany Watford (19th) and Norwich (20th) in the Championship next season.
