City was trailing 2-0 to Villa until Ilkay Gndogan began the comeback in the 76th. Rodri equalized two minutes later and Gndogan put City in front in the 81st.
At one point even when City was losing, it was still set to defend the title as Liverpool was only drawing 1-1 to Wolverhampton. But Mohamed Salah then put the second-place side in front in the 84th minute, which would have taken Liverpool into first place had City not mounted its fightback at the Etihad Stadium.
Andy Robertson then sealed Liverpool’s 3-1 win. Had City conceded a late equalizer, Liverpool would have snatched the trophy away but Pep Guardiola’s side held on for the win in a thrilling climax.
