Both the Manager, Manuel Pellegrini and the players really proved their mettle.
Pellegrini did have a good reason to smile and deserved every moment of the victory as the players picked him up and hauled him into air. It was his first season in the Manchester club after he took over from Roberto Mancini at the end of last season.
The great thing about the win was that victory actually remained open until the last game on the last day.
Liverpool remained strongly in contention and only trailed Manchester City by 2 points.

Chelsea FC which came third was not far behind, trailing second placed Liverpool with 2 points also, finishing at 82 points.
