Manchester City have won the Premier League title after Manchester United slipped to a shock defeat to West Brom.

City were crowned champions as Jay Rodriguez’s 73rd minute goal shocked Old Trafford and left them with an unassailable 16-point lead at the top of the table.

The club’s emphatic 3-1 win over Tottenham at Wembley had heaped the pressure on their neighbours a week after they ruined their title party at the Etihad Stadium.

United needed to avoid defeat to ensure they kept the chase for the title alive but they failed to deliver, handing the trophy to their bitter rivals in the process.

City boss Pep Guardiola had vowed to not even follow events in the game this afternoon, choosing to take to the golf course with his son.

But he cannot fail to have heard the news of what happened at Old Trafford, a result which means City have now won the Premier League for a third time in seven years.

City have dominated the domestic season, losing just one league game against Liverpool in January, and remain on course to break Chelsea’s points record of 95 in 2004-05.

But even they would have expected United to have got the job done against a Baggies side cut adrift at the foot of the division.

But Jose Mourinho’s men turned in a woeful display, to such an extent thousands of fans trudged out of the ground unable to stand watching as their side gifted City the crown.
