As it happened: Manchester City are the champions, successfully defend title

Manchester City retained the Premier League title on Sunday, securing top spot with a 4-1 win on the final day of the season.

City finished with 98 points, one ahead of second-placed Liverpool, who finished the campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Despite going a goal down in the first half, Man City retained the title after defeating Brighton 4-1 at the Amex Stadium, making Liverpool's victory against Wolves redundant.

Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyadh Mahrez, and Ilkay Gundogan all scored for the visitors after Glen Murray had given the home side the lead on 25 minutes.

It was the first time that a team has won back-to-back titles since Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United in 2009.

City's total of 98 points is the second-highest haul in Premier League history, two shy of the 100 points Pep Guardiola's men accrued last year.

Following is a play-by-play report of the EPL 'Super Sunday', as it happened.
