Manchester City have won the 2017-18 English Premier League title after city rivals, Manchester United lost 1-0 to West Brom at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Red Devils delayed City from becoming champions last weekend when they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
But City needed to win Tottenham on Saturday and hope United lose against West Brom today to be declared winners – and it was so!
Pep Guardiola’s men defeated Spurs 3-1 at Wembley to stand with 87 points at the top of the Premier League table, 16 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.

With the triumph, City have become a three-time Premier League winners – a feat they are achieving in seven seasons.
There are five matchdays left for the 2017-18 Premier League season to be over, and City have dominated the title race, scoring a total of 93 goals and losing only twice so far.
