Five Things We Learned: Manchester City 3-2 Aston Villa (Premier ... (Sports Illustrated)

Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions after a dramatic 3-2 comeback victory against Aston Villa on the final day of the season.

Firstly, Fernandinho getting physically ousted by Ollie Watkins was out of the equation through his replacement. It wouldn’t come as a surprise to discover that the footballing gods may well have conjured up a game solely for the purpose of debunking a horrifically misguided theory, as Manchester City’s comeback sits on the same table as some of the best fight-backs in the division’s storied history. For a manager that is often on the receiving end of groans from a majority of Manchester City supporters for being economical with his substitutions, this was a mini-victory for the anti-narrative. For Rodri to not only be an insurmountable defensive presence as a lone number six, as well as being a faultless passing hub, his knack for standing tall in the biggest of moments from day one of the season is what possibly sets him apart from the rest. With Manchester City always being a Kyle Walker injury away from not having the best defensive right-back at their disposal, it may be a more astute plan of action for the club to target a player belonging to a similar profile to act as an understudy to the Englishman in the summer, considering ongoing links to Brighton’s Marc Cucurella. Unlike the callous Joao Cancelo - whose biggest weakness was on show in terms of being an excessive risk-taker in possession - the Ukrainian’s decision-making was dictated by the momentum of the contest, restoring a much-needed sense of control in to Manchester City’s build-up.

Manchester City issued an apology to Aston Villa goalkeeper Robin Olsen, who was assaulted during the pitch invasion as fans celebrated being crowned.

“Running on the pitch is obviously delirious because City have won the league, so I get that, but attacking opposition players on the pitch – where has this come from? “There was a lady steward, she got barged to the floor. We’ve seen it a couple of times at Forest and with Patrick Vieira. It’s absolutely disgraceful.” The crossbar has been broken, it has been snapped away to our right. They probably want a memento.” “Where Manchester City scored their three goals, the crossbar has been broken,” Durham said.
