EXTENDED HIGHLIGHTS | City 1-0 Chelsea | ALVAREZ SCORES AS THE CHAMPIONS CELEBRATE IN STYLE

It's a day to sit back, relax and just enjoy being the Blue. There are a few occasions in which you turn up at the Etihad Stadium without the tension or the drama that you associate with this wonderful club in the month of May. But with the title confirmed yesterday, this is an afternoon that we can call Coronation Day for City's all-conquering heroes. As Cole Palmer puts a lovely ball into the box. Mahrez, great tackle. And then Phillips hits a shot. Goes out for a corner. An outswinger from Riyad Mahrez. It's headed away. And then hit by Sergio Gomez. And I tell you what, the look on Kepa's face suggested to me that that didn't miss by much. I have to agree. You see when they take that step to the right and then just stand still in hope. Yeah, he's not getting there if it's on target. Argo Silva, who at the age of 38 is still a Premier League centre-half. But City have won it back. And Alvarez will score here. And City take advantage of some sloppy Chelsea play. But they were just easing their way out from the back, Chelsea. And they did what no team should ever do against the Blues. Give possession away unnecessarily. And within, well, five seconds, Alvarez scored. Yeah, it's a really sloppy pass. I think it's for Fama who goes to play a ball first time into midfield. It breaks down. And every moment from the minute the ball's given away is perfection. Absolutely fantastic from Alvarez. So City lead by a goal to nil. And the way this game has started, they are absolutely up for this contest. And Parma comes forward into the penalty area. Parma. And Lewis. And Foden. And Alvarez. And Foden. And Mahrez. And it's blocked in the end. Brilliant football from City. Chelsea can't cope. There's a passage of play on the halfway line. But Cole Parma absolutely rips Atalanta to bits. And you can't quite see it. It's before that. And then every decision from here is perfect. But just couldn't quite... Audacious little flick from Rico Lewis. And couldn't quite get the shot off. Sterling now tries to get the better of Sergio Gomez. He's tackled. But the ball bounces for Mahrez. And Mahrez on to Sergio Gomez. Gomez, midway inside the City half. There's a lovely darting run by Alvarez. Tell you what, he makes really great runs. Oh, he makes fantastic runs. And it's a great spot by you. I wasn't sure whether you saw it. But the movement for Parma's just like, I don't want to go with that run. And that's a good ball as well. And he's picked out Foden. Foden with a chip over the top. Oh, my goodness. Brilliant ball from Calvin Phillips. It was on Foden's right-hand side. And Foden with a little delicate chip with, I'll use the word in inverted commas, his weaker foot. And he clips it over Kepa. It's just beyond the post. Oh, it's a fabulous effort. There's a great touch with his left foot, which just takes the sting out of it. It's on the half-volley. And if he finds the goal, it's 2-0. Back it goes to Fofana. Still inside the Chelsea half, by the way. And now they're in the City half. And Sterling's through on goal here. Raheem Sterling. Good save, Ortega. He was one-on-one with Ortega. Akanji Di's best to put him off. But Ortega poked out a left boot and denied Raheem Sterling. He's done great. And it's a really clever movement. Just maybe Kyle could have been tucked in a bit more. But once Akanji shuts him out, yes, makes himself big. And it's a great save. Akanji. Akanji out wide to Laporte. Won't get to it, actually. It'll go out for a Chelsea throw. A little bit careless, but no harm done for the moment. But here's Havertz, trying to cause some danger. On it goes to Hall. Hall on the edge of the City penalty area. Bending cross! And that's off the line. I think Ortega and the post got that one away. It looked like it could be an equaliser from Gallagher. But I think Ortega got a little piece of that and it clipped the base of the post as well. Here's Sterling now. Pops in a ball which Walker gets in the way of. Now, does Ortega get a touch on that? I've got a feeling he might have done. And City were a little bit stretched, to say the very least. I think it is Ortega, isn't it? I think he heads it to Ortega. Yes, both. Post and Ortega. But it goes in if he doesn't get across. Perez whips in. And the header is in! Oh, I can't believe that didn't go in. Calvin Phillips can't believe that didn't go in. He was up, celebrating. It hit the inside of the post, rolled across the line, but didn't go in. Well, how unlucky. I'm pretty sure Calvin Phillips thought that was a goal. Well, this is the free kick, Andy. Look how close Calvin Phillips was. It's... It's a disappointment for this, but it's difficult not to make contact with the ball when the cross is that good. One goal to nil. Ideal scenario, really. If City can take their clean sheet to full-time, they'll win their final home game of the season, and Mahrez might make it better. He's in the penalty area, and there's a tap-in for Alvarez! And City lead by two goals to nil! Alaba was looking at his assistant. There was a claim of handball from the Chelsea players. VAR will look at it, of course they will, but at the moment it's 2-0 to the Blues. And if he's shown that angle, he's going to say, handball, isn't he? Yeah, and he does. And it is. And it's still 1-0. The decibel level has just gone through the roof. There's one or two Norwegian flags that are fluttering now to herald the arrival of the great Viking. On comes Palmer, and into the gap for Alvarez. Alvarez now dancing forward. Haaland's made the burst. Haaland now, right across the face of the goal, and out for a goal kick. Great timing of the pass from Palmer. And then nobody's dealing with Haaland's run, he just walks into the box. Oh, Rico Luis is so, so close. He pulls it right across, there's no idea, you can't defend him. Chukwuemeka has it for Chelsea. Gets away and keeps on going, he's into the final third, Chukwuemeka. Ndwiki wants it on the edge of the area, but it's gone the other way. Here's Pulisic. Pulisic into the possession of Fernandes, and then helped on, and Azpilicueta almost scored at the far post, and it was a magnificent challenge by Fylde Foden. He's tracked him all the way, and I think he's actually prevented a tap-in at the far post. A corner comes in for Chelsea, and the header's over the net by Chalobart. A chance, and he missed it. We're just playing the last few seconds of the Etihad Stadium season, and the champions of England, all that they have left to do today is to lift the trophy above their heads. The captain, the club leader, Ilkay Gundogan. Pep Guardiola's first signing in June of 2016, 301 City games later. And he picks up not just a winner's medal, but the trophy itself. Three seasons in a row, the champions of England lifted aloft by Ilkay Gundogan. A seventh Premier League title, a ninth in the history of the club. Seven times in the last 12 seasons, five in the last six, and of course, three in a row.
