Pep Guardiola's side only need four points from their final two matches to secure a fourth title in five seasons, but Jarrod Bowen had other ideas, scoring twice in the first half to put the Hammers two goals up at half time.

Match of the Day host Lineker, wasted no time sharing his view on proceedings on social media. He Tweeted: "Blimey! @WestHam go 2 up. Bums be a squeaking."

City will remain three points ahead of Liverpool, but the Reds will play their game in hand against Southampton on Tuesday evening, when they will have the chance to draw level with City on points.

If Liverpool beat the Saints, the two sides would then go into a nerve-wrecking final day locked on 89 points.
