One of the criticisms aimed at Manchester City this season was that they were too serious. A joyless winning machine with no room for drama or excitement.
City rubbished that argument on Sunday with a remarkable 3-2 final day win against Aston Villa, scoring three goals in five second-half minutes to overcome a two-goal deficit and clinch the Premier League title.
After former Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho had put Villa 2-0 up with a little over 20 minutes to go, City's title hopes lay in tatters. The Blues knew a win would guarantee the title, but somehow they had conspired to mess it up.
