Noel Gallagher after his savage dig at Liverpool, sarcastically applauding them amid claims that there is a media bias towards them.Manchester City lifted their fourth Premier League title in five years under Pep Guardiola on Sunday in a remarkable achievement, pipping the Reds to the top by a point. The Etihad outfit had led the race for much of the season, though Jurgen Klopp's men managed to push them until the final day.But they nearly relinquished that lead at the end after going 2-0 down to Aston Villa at home while Wolves were holding Liverpool at Anfield.

Olivia Wilkinson spoke for about 50,000 people inside the Etihad when she spoke of the mood as Manchester City threatened to blow the Premier League title on the final day. "We were up there bricking it, absolutely bricking it," the lifelong fan said. "A lot of tears were shed from us," adds Ben Mason, a Blue from Jersey.

Jack Grealish was front and centre for Manchester City's open-top bus parade on Monday as the squad celebrated with thousands of fans after winning their fourth Premier League title in five seasons under manager Pep Guardiola.Grealish was rightly making the most of winning his first major honour, and spells in front of the on-board TV cameras showed just how drunk the £100 million midfielder was.In one clip, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are stood next to a raspy-voiced Grealish, who claimed that team-mate Riyad Mahrez "played like" Newcastle United forward Miguel Almiron during City's final-day victory over Aston Villa."Riyad, take him off the pitch, as soon as possible. He played like Almiron," said Grealish, as both Silva and De Bruyne fell about laughing.It wasn't the first time he'd layed into his team-mates either.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola appears to have given Ederson the seal of approval after the Brazilian audaciously claimed he was the club's best penalty taker.City's players and staff spent Monday evening parading around Manchester city centre on an open-top bus after sealing their fourth Premier League title in five seasons with victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, with thousands of fans lining the streets to join the party and catch a glimpse of the trophy as the squad drank and smoked themselves silly.Towards the end of the parade, the bus emptied onto a stage where City's semi-intoxicated stars got the chance to get on the microphone, and Ederson was asked if he'd ever take a penalty for the club."Of course, I am the best taker of penalties [at the club]. If Pep says it’s okay then I will take one probably," the Brazilian said, prompted an approving nod from Guardiola.City have had an abysmal record from the penalty spot in recent years, with Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Riyad Mahrez and Gabriel Jesus all missing from 12 yards in the past three seasons, and at the start of the season, Ederson insisted that he'd be happy to take one if he was ever asked.The 28-year-old is one of the most technically-gifted goalkeepers in the world and boasts an unrivalled passing range, but could his ability to knock fabulous 80-yard through-balls really translate to penalty-taking? I guess there's only one way to find out.

Jack Grealish was at the heart of the celebrations on Monday evening as Manchester City paraded the streets with their Premier League trophy.The playmaker appeared a little worse for wear on the evening, but that definitely wasn’t going to stop the £100million star from lapping up the celebrations. City had to work very hard on Sunday to ensure that the league title would be lifted at the Etihad Stadium outfit – with a quickfire 3-2 comeback against Aston Villa ensuring that they topped the table by a point and crushed Liverpool’s hopes of winning the quadruple.Despite being a rotational player this season, Grealish was the centre of attention at City's trophy celebrations - and he kickstarted an iconic series of events by laying into his teammate Bernardo Silva.
