MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Manchester City celebrated their Premier League title success on Sunday, beating Chelsea 1-0 with an early goal by Julian Alvarez in the team's home finale at a sun-drenched Etihad Stadium.
Treble-chasing City, who wrapped up the title when second-placed Arsenal were beaten at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, have won 12 successive games in the top flight.
"I'm not saying I didn't think we could do it but it was going to be difficult, but we have so much talent in this squad and at the moment we just feel unstoppable." Alvarez's winner meant City had scored 100 goals at The Etihad this season, equalling the record - which they set in 2018-19 - for most home goals scored in all competitions in a single season by an English top-flight club.
"I can't actually speak highly enough of the manager," Grealish said."Listen, he's a bit weird the way he sort of knows everything, some games I'm thinking: what's he going to come up with today? And he comes up with different tactics every game. It's a pleasure to work with him. I love him." Rather than spending a few minutes to soak up the atmosphere, the players were quickly shepherded down the tunnel by security.
Haaland had been a late substitute and did not extend his record of 36 goals in a single Premier League season.
