The defending champions were a goal down in the first half, but that was quickly negated following goals from Sergio Aguero, Aymeric Laporte, Riyadh Mahrez, and Ilkay Gundogan.
The victory marks the first time a team has won back-to-back titles in the Premier League since Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United in 2009.
Pep Guardiola’s men retained the title with a staggering 98 points, which is the second highest points haul in the history of the Premier League, two points behind his 100-point-tally last season.
City’s closest title rivals this season, Liverpool, finished only one point behind them after a long and intense battle for the Premier League trophy.
Speaking after the win, Guardiola lauded Liverpool for helping his squad improve in terms of consistency and performance. He said,
Following their league win and their League Cup triumph in February, Manchester City will now look to complete a domestic treble by winning their FA Cup final against Watford on May 18.
