Man City crowned Champions of England

Manchester City beat West Ham 2-0 at the
Etihad Stadium to win the Premier League on
the final day of the season, despite Liverpool
coming from behind to beat Newcastle.
City needed a victory to ensure the title,
although their goal difference meant a draw
would likely have been enough. But they went
all-out for victory, dominating West Ham and
sealing victory through Samir Nasri’s
excellent goal and skipper Vincent Kompany's
close-range finish.
Brendan Rodgers’ side, meanwhile, came from
behind to beat Newcastle, but it meant
nothing as City easily closed out victory,
leading to emotional scenes as fans streamed
on to the pitch in Manchester.
City were good value for the title, although
were aided by Liverpool’s spectacular late-
season capitulation following what seemed to
be a landmark 3-2 victory against Manuel
Pellegrini’s side last month.
The Reds' disastrous 3-3 draw against Crystal
Palace will be seen as they key result for both
teams, although City must be commended for
keeping their nerve when others - including
Chelsea - floundered.
