Chelsea vs. Man City: How It Happened
London, England - Kevin De Bruyne scored a brilliant winner against his former club Chelsea as Manchester City won their 12th Premier League title on Saturday. The Belgian midfielder struck a stunning long-range effort into the top corner in the 70th minute to secure a 1-0 victory at Stamford Bridge.
The win means that City have now won four of the last five Premier League titles, and they are now just one title behind Manchester United's record of 20. It is also a remarkable achievement for manager Pep Guardiola, who has now won three Premier League titles in his five seasons at the club.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have missed out on the title, but they can still take heart from their performance this season. They have finished third in the Premier League and reached the final of the FA Cup, where they will face Liverpool on May 14.
The match was a tense and cagey affair, with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances in the first half. However, City gradually began to take control of the game after the break, and they eventually deserved their victory.
De Bruyne's goal was a moment of brilliance from the Belgian, who has been in superb form for City this season. He is now the club's top scorer with 15 goals in all competitions, and he has also provided 12 assists.
City will now turn their attention to the Champions League, where they will face Real Madrid in the semi-finals. They will be confident of winning the competition for the first time, and they will be hoping that De Bruyne can continue his excellent form.
