Manchester City celebrated their third consecutive Premier League title on Sunday as a much-changed side was still good enough to beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Etihad. | Sport24news
Pep Guardiola's men clinched a fifth title in six seasons on Saturday when second-placed Arsenal were beaten 1-0 at Nottingham Forest.
But a festive afternoon for City was marred at full-time as thousands of fans spilled onto the pitch despite pleas from the club to remain in the stands.Guardiola made nine changes in all from the side that thrashed Real Madrid 4-0 in midweek. Palmer made the most of a rare Premier League start and was unlucky not to double City's lead when his goalbound effort was cleared off the line by Trevoh Chalobah.
Not that the home fans minded as they serenaded their side with cries of"championees" and bounced around doing the Poznan celebration with their backs to the pitch.
