Manchester City retained the Premier League title after beating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-1 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday.

Goals from Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan brought the Citizens back from a goal down after Glenn Murray had headed the hosts into the lead in the 27th minute.  

The result meant City finished one point ahead of nearest Liverpool, who won 2-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

What’s Next?

While Brighton’s season is over, City will now prepare to face to Watford in the 2019 FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday.

Victory would mean the Citizens complete a historic domestic treble.
