'If it wasn’t for Liverpool' - Jamie Carragher makes blunt Man City title point

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher praised Man City for the way they came back to beat Aston Villa to win the Premier League title on Sunday.

City started the day as league leaders needed to match Liverpool's result at a minimum to retain the title. The Reds went a goal behind when Pedro Neto netted for Wolves. While that seemingly worked in favour for City, they themselves conceded via a Matty Cash header to enter the break a goal behind.

By that point, Liverpool had equalised via Sadio Mane to set up a tense second-half at both Anfield and the Etihad Stadium. Philippe Coutinho's second-half goal then gave Steven Gerrard's Villa side a two-goal lead with a little over 30 minutes left. But two Ilkay Gundogan goals either side of a Rodri finish capped off a remarkable five minutes in which City took the lead.
