Former Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp believes Pep Guardiola made one of the greatest substitutions in Premier League history to inspire Manchester City to a sixth Premier League title.
City won their fourth top-flight title in the space of five seasons on Sunday afternoon after coming back from 2-0 down at the Etihad Stadium in the final 20 minutes to beat Aston Villa 3-2 and to win the league ahead of Liverpool by a single point. The fightback was largely inspired by a second half substitution made by Guardiola just a minute before Philippe Coutinho put Villa 2-0 up in the 69 th minute.
Ilkay Gundogan came on in the 68 th minute in place of Raheem Sterling and went on to score twice within 15 minutes of his introduction either side of Rodri’s equaliser.
