Manchester City enjoyed their title celebrations

Liverpool pushed Manchester City all the way in the Premier League title race but in the end, City finished the season top of the pile with an astonishing 98 points after their 4-1 final day victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.

After the comprehensive victory at the Amex Stadium, City’s traveling fans could be seen doing what winning fans do: celebrating wildly in the stands.

One such fan was Oasis member Noel Gallagher, who could be seen jumping up and down, cheering and even singing along to his own former band’s songs as the players celebrated and belted the tunes out in kind.

With a legendary musician such as Mr. Gallagher in the building it would have been impolite to simply send him home with little more than a hello and goodbye, so City went one or two better.

They invited Gallagher into the winning dressing room, where both he and the squad and backroom staff belted out a rendition of the Oasis hit ‘Wonderwall’.

Players also posed for photographs with the musician, who is a lifelong City fan.

City confirmed after the game that they would travel back to the Etihad Stadium for celebrations with home fans on Sunday evening, after which attentions will turn to their FA Cup final next weekend against Watford.
