Pep Guardiola‘s side knew victory over Brighton would ensure a second successive Premier League crown but were also very aware that any mistake would gift the title to challengers Liverpool.
There was anxiety in the away end when Glenn Murray gave the Seagulls the lead with a glancing header on 27 minutes.
But that stress did not last long with Sergio Aguero pouncing within a couple of minutes to level matters.
Aymeric Laporte gave us an interval lead when he got on the end a corner on 38 minutes – and there was no let-up from the champions elect after the break.
Riyad Mahrez fired past Mat Ryan on 63 minutes to make it three and Ilkay Gundogan added a fourth on 72 minutes courtesy of a beautiful free-kick.
City’s haul of 98 points was the joint-second highest for any team in top-flight history with our Centurions of 2017/18 the only team to better that total.
Watch the classic match replay of the game above.
