Manchester City won the 2021-2022 Premier League after a dramatic win against Aston Villa in the 38th week, Sunday (22/5/2022). Man City beated Aston Villa 3-2 so that The Citizens had the right to sit at the top of the 2021-2022 Premier League standings.
Competing in public at the Etihad Stadium, Man City had to fall behind 0-2 first after goal scored by Matty Cash (37′) and Philippe Coutinho (69′). Man City just got back up by scoring three goals in the range of five minutes since the 75th minute.

Man City is one point ahead of Liverpool (92 points) who in the final match won 3-1 over Wolverhampton Wanderers. For Man City, this is the eighth Premier League title in the club’s history or sixth in the Premier League era.
