Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hailed the most remarkable of Premier League title victories in a relentless campaign after his side were crowned champions of England once again following defeat for Manchester United by Leicester.

City had been made to wait to celebrate a third league triumph under Guardiola after Chelsea fought back to win at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Rivals United kept up the pressure with victory over Aston Villa on Sunday, but came up short on Tuesday night as the Foxes ran out 2-1 winners at Old Trafford.

City captain Fernandinho spoke of his pride at leading City to another title success – but warned they are hungry for more.

“Winning the Premier League title is the ultimate fulfilment of our ambitions. It’s what we all dreamed of as young players, so to do it is a wonderful feeling,” the Brazilian said.

“We will enjoy this moment and we hope the fans do too.

“Rest assured we will continue to do everything we can to bring the Champions League home this season.”
