MAN OF THE MATCH?

Match summary

A goal and an assist from Riyad Mahrez sealed a 4-1 comeback win at Brighton & Hove Albion that confirmed Manchester City as Premier League champions. 

The Algerian, a 2015/16 champion with Leicester City, replaced Phil Foden in the starting line-up and starred as Pep Guardiola's side defended the PL title and claimed the Trophy for the fourth time.

Glenn Murray gave Brighton a shock lead when he headed in Pascal Gross's 27th-minute corner.

But Sergio Aguero levelled within a minute after being played in by David Silva, before Aymeric Laporte headed City in front from Mahrez's corner on 38 minutes.

After the break, Mahrez fired superbly into the top corner before Ilkay Gundogan scored a brilliant free-kick with 18 minutes remaining.

City finished on 98 points, one above Liverpool, who won 2-0 against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the final day.
