İlkay Gündogan scored the winner for Manchester City, who secured the Premier League title with 3-2 victory against Aston Villa

Gündogaaaan. It was a moment of the highest drama, the wildest of celebrations and it was impossible to ignore the parallels.

City did not leave it quite so late this time. But their solution was nonetheless epic. Three goals in five minutes, culminating in a burst from Kevin De Bruyne – who always finds a way – a low cross from him and a finish from Ilkay Gündogan at the far post on 81 minutes.Manchester City now have two last-gasp, final-day, title-winning, 3-2 wins to remember. Ten years and nine days earlier, on 13 May 2012, City were 2-1 behind against Queen's Park Rangers in added time.

Jürgen Klopp had claimed that it was all on City; Gerrard referenced it, too. Klopp also said Liverpool had nothing to lose and everything to gain but the idea that the reverse was true for City was ridiculous. They had a title to win, a season to define but, after the wobble at West Ham last Sunday, it was not entirely surprising that there were nerves at the outset.

City offered little before the interval, save for a Phil Foden shot that went just wide. Gabriel Jesus also miskicked after cutting in from the right. City repeatedly ran into walls and it was Villa who finished the first half in the ascendancy. Watkins twice got away from Fernandinho only to be checked by him the first time and bailed out by John Stones on the second. Watkins also saw a shot blocked by Aymeric Laporte.
