Pep Guardiola‘s side went into the match knowing a third Premier League title in three seasons was already secured after Arsenal’s defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

Julian Alvarez got the only goal of the day with a fine finish after just 12 minutes, making it 12 Premier League wins in a row and 24 games unbeaten across all competitions.
Cole Palmer could have doubled the lead if not for a last ditch clearance from Trevoh Chalobah before Kalvin Phillips thundered a header against the post early in the second half.
Alvarez thought he had his second of the day deep into the second half but VAR eventually ruled the goal out for a Riyad Mahrez handball in the build-up.
It didn’t matter in the end as a much-changed City side held on for the three points to get the title party started.
