Manchester City clinched back-to-back Premier League titles after an emphatic win at the Amex Stadium. Pep Guardiola's men just needed to match Liverpool's result to retain their crown. Brighton took a shock lead on 26 minutes when Glenn Murray headed the hosts in front. It lasted just 60 seconds as Sergio Aguero fired City level. Normal service resumed seven minutes before the break as Aymeric Laporte nodded in from close range to send City back to the top of the table. Riyad Mahrez fired in a third just after the hour mark before Ilkay Gundogan added another to put them on the brink of the title.<doc-sep>HERE for the latest MUFC breaking news and transfer updates SUBSCRIBE Invalid email Sign upfor the latest MUFC breaking news and transfer updates When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

BRIGHTON 1-4 MANCHESTER CITY | MURRAY (27), AGUERO (28), LAPORTE (38), MAHREZ (63), GUNDOGAN (72) Brighton XI: Ryan, Saltor, Duffy, Dunk, Bernardo, Knockaert, Kayal, Bissouma, Jahanbakhsh, Gross, Murray Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Zinchenko, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, Silva, Mahrez, Aguero, Sterling City ended the season with 98 points, just two shy of last season's record-breaking 100, while Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Wolves saw them end on 97 - by far the largest tally for a Premier League runners-up. Needing a 14th successive league win to be certain of prevailing in an unprecedented title duel, City fell behind to Glenn Murray's 27th minute header but Pep Guardiola's side responded in devastating fashion. Sergio Aguero levelled 83 seconds later and Aymeric Laporte's header put City ahead before the break. With Liverpool, who began the day one point behind, leading, the Anfield club would still have hoped for something extraordinary to happen in the south coast sunshine. But when Riyad Mahrez drove an unstoppable shot past Brighton keeper Mathew Ryan's despairing dive just past the hour, City's fans could finally get the party started. Ilkay Gundogan's majestic free kick made it 4-1 to put the icing on another glorious day for City who are the first club to retain the Premier League title for 10 years. Glenn Murray opens the scoring from a corner - Liverpool winning Sergio Aguero hits back straight away Aymeric Laporte heads home from a corner to send City top Riyad Mahrez adds third to give City a two-goal cushion Ilkay Gundogan nets again to wrap up the Premier League title BRIGHTON 1-4 MANCHESTER CITY | GUNDOGAN 72: Manchester City are set to retain their Premier League crown! I’m 99.99999999999 sure that Brighton won’t be scoring three goals in 18 minutes. It’s a quality strike from Ilkay Gundogan, who lofts a free-kick over the wall to leave Ryan stranded. Game over, title secured. BRIGHTON 1-3 MANCHESTER CITY - MAHREZ 63: GOAL! Looks like the Premier League title is staying in Manchester!!! Riyad Mahrez of all people pops up with a third to give Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City a two-goal cushion. It’s a sublime strike from distance that left Ryan with absolutely no chance. 60: No change in the scenario folks. As things stand - Manchester City will win the Premier League title. Free-kick comes in for Brighton, Lewis Dunk reads the flight of it better than Vincent Kompany and heads it over the top! 57: Well this race for the Golden Boot just got interesting. Sadio Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Sergio Aguero are all on the scoresheet and tied on 21 goals. Mohamed Salah still out in front on 22… 53: Not sure if anyone is interested but Manchester United are trailing Cardiff 2-0 at Old Trafford… 51: Oh for the comfort of a two-goal cushion eh? Pep Guardiola is still moving wildly around his technical area willing his side over the line. Riyad Mahrez, who’s been great today, whips a low cross into the penalty area towards Bernardo Silva but Dunk is there to block. 48: Plenty of early possession for Manchester City in the early stages of the second half. A simple game of keep-ball unfolding on the south coast. BRIGHTON 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY 45: And we’re back underway folks. It’s a very simple equation - Manchester City must see this out to retain the Premier League title. Simply huge 45 minutes coming up. Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates BRIGHTON 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY HT: Lewis Dunk of all people has a crack from distance on the stroke of half time but Ederson makes a fine save to tip it over the crossbar. Manchester City currently lead the Premier League - but one goal fro Brighton and Liverpool will go top. Serious drama unfolding folks. 45: One minute added time. 41: Manchester City look confident now as they go searching for a third. Sterling cuts inside and lays the ball across the penalty area but Bernardo clears for Brighton. BRIGHTON 1-2 MANCHESTER CITY | LAPORTE 38: GOAL! Manchester City are TOP of the Premier League! Massive goal for Pep Guardiola’s side. Riyad Mahrez whips a corner into the penalty area, where Laporte loses his marker and converts. 36: Murray gifts possession to City and Silva slides the ball through for Mahrez, who sees his powerful drive turned behind. What can City do with this… 31: That goal has done wonders for Manchester City. They are playing with more fluency and urgency with Brighton looking increasingly vulnerable. A sign of Champions? ������ City are behind for just 83 seconds before Aguero pulls them level. Nail biting stuff!

How important is this guy? Absolutely priceless for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s side have hit back immediately through Sergio Aguero, who is played in behind the Brighton defence before slotting under Ryan. There were just 83 seconds between Glenn Murray's opener for Brighton and Sergio Aguero's equaliser for Man City. Drama. BRIGHTON 1-0 MANCHESTER CITY | MURRAY 27: OH MY DAYS! Scenes at the Amex Stadium as veteran Glenn Murray gives Brighton the lead! Ederson was completely lost when racing off his line to punch clear a corner - missing it and Murray is there to head home. Liverpool currently top of the Premier League! 21: Ouch! Painful for Liverpool fans, who are celebrating like crazy because they think Brighton have take the lead. Misinformation though because it’s currently 0-0. Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates 18: The news no Manchester City fan wanted to hear - Liverpool have taken the lead against Wolves thanks to Sadio Mane. Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently top of the Premier League. 15: Zinchenko whips in a dangerous cross into the Brighton penalty area from the left but there’s no sky blue shirt there to apply the finish. 12: Three goals in the Premier League so far. Newcastle lead Fulham 2-0 while Tottenham are ahead against Everton thanks to Eric Dier. 10: Quick update from Anfield - no goals to report. No real chances to speak of actually as Wolves continue to frustrate Liverpool. 6: An edge of your seat start at the Amex! Bernardo Silva goes on a weaving run but is tackled at the vital moment. The hosts have also threatened with a couple of decent crosses. Nervy, very nervy indeed. 3: So it looks like Bernardo Silva will operate on the left channel with Riyad Mahrez on the right. It doesn’t look to have affected City’s fluency though - they are straight at Brighton’s throats. BRIGHTON 0-0 MANCHESTER CITY 1: Y’all ready for this? We’re underway at the Amex Stadium. Manchester City are two hours and a victory away from securing the Premier League title. Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates Hope? 14:50: OK, we all know Liverpool have a chance today - but it’s highly unlikely that Manchester City will drop points against Brighton. BUT… there is hope. Brighton boss Chris Hughton is the last manager to beat Manchester City on the final day of the Premier League season, when he was at Norwich. 15-minutes… 14:45: It’s the calm before the storm. 15 minutes until the chaotic final day of the Premier League season unfolds. Whigfield's Saturday night pumping out at Anfield in tribute to the legend that is Divock Origi… Best Ever! 14:35: Outgoing Premier League executive chairman Richard Scudamore believes the current season is the competitions' best ever. "When you look at what the Premier League has done this season, the title race is unprecedented," Scudamore told BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme. "The idea that Manchester City or Liverpool will walk away second with that amount of points is incredible and they would've won it in any other year. "Then you add the European feats achieved by the Premier League teams this season with all-English Champions League and Europa League finals and it is hard to think of a season that has been better." And I’ve just heard that Scudamore is at Anfield today. Along with Liverpool’s principal owner, John Henry and Richard Masters, the PL’s interim chief executive. Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates Elsewhere… 14:30: So there are actually eight other Premier League fixtures happening today. Not that you would know given the focus on the title race. They are as follows: Burnley vs Arsenal, Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth, Fulham vs Newcastle, Leicester vs Chelsea, Manchester United vs Cardiff, Southampton vs Huddersfield, Tottenham vs Everton and Watford vs West Ham. As previously mentioned, Arsenal would require an eight-goal swing to sneak past Tottenham into fourth. Manchester United? Well.. they are playing for pride I suppose. Surely there will not be a top four shock? 14:25: A night on from Liverpool's Champions League heroics, Tottenham produced an equally unthinkable comeback to seal their place in the June finale in Madrid. Lucas Moura's hat-trick sealed the last-gasp comeback at Ajax and will mean Spurs line up at the gleaming Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a spring in their step on Sunday. A top-four finish is all but assured but things would have to go horribly wrong against Everton to give Arsenal any hope. The Gunners, fresh from reaching the Europa League final, would have an eight-goal margin to make up at Burnley. Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates Nerves? Nope… 14:15: Pep Guardiola claims he is not nervous ahead of Manchester City's final-game title decider at Brighton. Not sure I believe you, Pep. "I am so happy - no nerves at all. I was nervous before Liverpool, seven points behind, and we could have been 10 points behind,” Guardiola said. "It was, 'Ah, it will be so difficult'. But not now, no way. I sleep like a little boy. It is a dream, a privilege, I love it." Brighton vs Man City: Premier League score, goals, table and updates Team News 14:10: Riyad Mahrez is handed a rare start for Manchester City in the title decider at Brighton. The former Leicester midfielder came in for youngster Phil Foden in the only change from the side which beat Leicester on Monday night.

With Brighton having already secured a spot in the league next season, one would expect this to be more of a celebratory match for the hosts than an intense one where they had to get a result. City just needs to be more clinical in the final third and the title is theirs. Brighton: Not playing for anything other than pride, but they can play the role of spoiler here and help Liverpool potentially win the title. Beating a team like City, even holding them to a draw would be quite the momentum-builder entering the summer. Expect them to not take this lightly, but the fact that they don't have to get a result could bode well for City. Manchester City vs. Brighton prediction The title goes to City for the second straight year with an attacking performance to remember. Pick: Manchester City (-782)
