Manchester United’s shock defeat to West Brom means that Man City is the new EPL champion!

After failing to win the Premiership at Old Trafford, the Citizens required their cross-town neighbors to drop points this weekend in order for them to be crowned champions. Pep Guardiola’s men played their part by winning away to Tottenham in Saturday’s game to establish a 16-point lead while they await an unlikely favor from West Brom.

It was quite a far-fetched dream considering the Baggies sat at the very bottom of the league log coming into the fixture at Old Trafford. However, football’s unpredictability ruled the day once again as Jay Rodriguez’s 73rd-minute strike happened to be the only goal of the game. 

This subsequently handed the league title to Pep Guardiola and his men without them kicking a ball. Following Man City’s 3-1 over Spurs at Wembley, the Spanish manager declared his disinterest in the outcome of the encounter between the Red Devils and West Brom as he wanted his side to win the league in front of their fans at the Etihad.

Well, if only wishes were horses…
