Manchester City fans are screaming from the rooftops today as they produced a stellar comeback win against Aston Villa to take the English Premier League title

It was a game that was hanging in the balance until the final minutes. Manchester City fans thought the game was over when Pep Guardiola’s team was down 2-0.

Manchester City needed a victory to beat Liverpool to the trophy.

However, the game quickly changed when City scored 3 nerve-wracking goals, to leave them on a 3-2 victory and secure their title.

German international Gundogan proved to be Manchester City’s super-sub, as he scored them a lifeline in the 76th minute.

“It was an unbelievable game. I don’t know what to say to be honest,
“We are human beings and after going 2-0 down the chances were just very, very small. But we had to do the simple things and scoring two goals quickly and then having 10 minutes to score the third one gave us the right lift.
“It was about getting that goal and then the momentum was on our side then we were able to score three goals in just a few minutes. These are the days you look back to, it was an unbelievable game.”
İlkay Gundogan, Manchester city

Excited fans filled the pitch in an unstoppable fashion.

As for the rest of the ladder, Liverpool held onto the second spot at Etihad Stadium, despite a stunning win over Wolves.

“Congratulations to Man City and Pep Guardiola. Thank you to Aston Villa and Wolverhampton for making a proper game of it,
It’s not the result we wanted. It was a bit of a rollercoaster. I don’t know the results exactly but I know Villa were 1-0 up – were they 2-0 up as well? Of course at the moment there’s disappointment here as well.
92 points is absolutely incredible. We wanted it all, but now it’s OK.
Finishing second is the story of my life. I’m still record holder for not getting promoted in Germany with the highest points tally. You need to get more points than any other teams, but we didn’t do that.
jurgen klopp, liverpool manager

Chelsea came in third, with a win over Watford.

Djokovic’s father was seen posing for pictures with a group of Putin supporters after his son won against Russia’s Andrey Rublev, to qualify for his 10th semi-final.

Russian flags have been banned from the Australian Open, but that didn’t stop one fan.

A man was seen holding a Russian flag with Putin’s face on it and wearing a t-shirt with the pro-war ‘Z’ symbol on it.

Four spectators were questioned by police and evicted from Melbourne Park.

After losing her semi-final, Belarusian Viktoria Azarenka hit back at media when pressed on tennis’ relationship with Russia’s war on Ukraine.

She told reporters incidents like Novak’s father posing with Russian fans have nothing to do with players.

The BBC has been forced to apologise to viewers after its live coverage of the FA Cup was interrupted by sex noises.

The moaning you just heard was played as Gary Lineker presented the third-round replay between Wolves and Liverpool.

BBC is now investigating the incident which appears to be an act of sabotage.

Lineker says a mobile phone was found taped to the back of the set and was responsible for the sex noises.

After the incident, the broadcaster said the sound being made in the studio was so loud it was “quite difficult” to carry on.

But he still saw humour in the incident calling it a “good” prank and questioning why the BBC felt the need to apologise in the first place.
