    City, who went into the final day of the season level on points with Chelsea, needed to beat Aston Villa by a margin of at least three goals to stand any chance of winning their first league title since 2016.

    But their hopes were quickly dashed by Chelsea, who raced into a two-goal lead within eight minutes and were 4-0 up by half-time at Old Trafford.

    City beat Villa 2-1 to finish the season level with Chelsea's 55 points, but their goal difference of 46 was inferior to Chelsea's by seven.
