Pep Guardiola lined up German substitute Ilkay Gundogan who scored in the 76th minute and only two minutes later Rodri contributed with the equalizer against Villa.
Nonetheless, the club proved they’re the most remarkable team in the league even without their top goal-scorer, Sergio Agüero, who retired back in 2021 due to a heart condition. Man City’s victory was an absolute thriller, in the week prior to the final fixture they drew 2-2 versus West Ham, which put City into a title race as they left the door open for Liverpool to potentially win. In this 2021-22 season, the EPL summit ended in the most dramatic possible way when Manchester City turned the boards around from 0-2 to 3-2 against Aston Villa scoring three winners within just a six-minute span.
To win the EPL summit, the team must have the best point record among the clubs. Contrary to most North American sports, the EPL doesn’t have playoffs but a promotion and relegation system. The 20 top best English clubs meet for a 38-game season from May to August to define the top soccer team in England and Wales.
