While in the eyes of many fans, Manchester City's victory over Brighton on the final day of the season felt like a done deal, there were still those who believed that Chris Houghton's men were capable of springing a last day surprise on the reigning champions.

And that's exactly what they nearly did when Glenn Murray caught City napping from a corner in the 27th minute to put Brighton into the lead. That lead lasted precisely 83 seconds before Sergio Aguero, no stranger to last day drama, coolly slotted away following some excellent build-up play.

City would grab a second through Aymeric Laporte just before half-time, and goals from Riyad Mahrez and Ilkay Gundogan would seal Manchester City's fourth Premier League trophy and their second successive one under Pep Guardiola.

City's composed final day performance, even after going 1-0 down epitomised why they have been able to amass 198 points over two seasons and was a fitting end to one of the best title races in Premier League history.
