They kept it late but they finally did it! Many predicted a high-scoring affair when came up against a relegation-threatened Southampton side but that was far from the case at the St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday. After a subtly action-filled 90 minutes, Pep Guardiola’s men rose from their dormancy to end their encounter with Mark Hughes’ men with a bang.
Gabriel Jesus was the savior for the Etihad outfit, scoring late into additional time to seal all three points. The feat subsequently ensured that Manchester City ended the season with a staggering 100 points, making them the first-ever club in the history of the Premier League to reach a century of points in a single league campaign.
The league champions did so by winning 32 league games - the most by a side in the history of English top-flight football.
