a special delivery from lewis hamilton and mercedes to a very lucky fan after victory in spain. hello, and welcome to sportsday, i'mjane dougall. there are bound to be a few sore heads across manchester this evening as city fans celebrated late into the night. it was an incredible end to a season full of quality and drama, not least because there was another team pushing them all the way. but city are looking for more domestic success, as andy swiss reports. really has success been quite so deafening. manchester city's players and fans parted long into the night at the etta had after the most tense

of title races, retaining that premier league trophy was all the sweeter. back to back, more and more difficult. the first time last season was almost difficult. the first time last season was almost perfect, but we had an incredible opening, so congratulations to liverpool for this incredible season. but we did it, we beat them. rewired a few hours add he hadn't been quite so relaxed. at one stage the title was slipping from city's brass band they we re slipping from city's brass band they were losing, rivals liverpool were leading. they are doing their bit of the equation. anfield dared to dream, but as they have done all season, said he found a way. wonderful! a remarkable 14th league when na row and the celebrations could begin. —— league win in a row. no gallagher conducting a dressing room singalong. —— noel gallagher.

but as well as the players, this was another triumph for their managerial mastermind. pep guardiola cementing his place in city folklore. he is the very best. i am fortunate to travel on the plane with him coming back, it is not the game we just played, it is going we're going to play, always one step ahead. could yet more history await him? city are through to this weekend's fa cup final having already won the carabao cup, they could clench an unprecedented treble. but for now they can savour this. premier league champions! one of english football's most remarkable title races won by one of its most remarkable teams. ben croucher has picked out some of the key moments at where the title race was won and lost and so many moments to choose from.

it's been one of the most memorable title races in living memory. here's how it finished. just one point in the end separating city and liverpool. no team has ever scored 97 points and not won the premier league. back in december though, liverpool had a ten point advantage over city after a terrific run over christmas coincided with city defeats against leicester and crystal palace. let's go back to january when things started turning in city's favour. they beat liverpool 2—1 at the etihad stadium but the defining moment came possibly at 0—0 when sadio mane's shot was cleared off the line byjohn stones. liverpool themselves were aghast it hadn't gone in. the margin? 11.7 millimetres, or about nine grains of sand! had that gone in, liverpool end up drawing and would have been champions.

fine margins,jane. the next moment you've picked out is actually a city defeat. they only had three all season. their last came at stjames park — losing 2—1 to newcastle despite taking the lead. significant for a couple of reasons. it was the last time they lost or even dropped a point in the league. 11! straight wins would follow. also, liverpool fans were rejoicing. their former manager rafa benitez — who's now in charge at newcastle. the next day, liverpool could capitalise at home to leicester — only for harry maguire's goal to help leicester to a 1—1 draw and liverpool missed the chance to go seven points clear. instead that margin was only five. still in their hands, though.

until the merseyside derby in march. goodison park the venue. normally highly charged. a goalless draw. had liverpool won that game, they'd probably have been champions. sensing a theme of fine margins here, ben! city now in control but not playing their best? but still winning. in april they went to burnley. struggling. goalless until sergio aguero poked a ball towards goal. it was cleared off the line — but the ball made it over. those margins? three centimetres! and then we arrived at this time last week. up stepped vincent kompany with a 30—yard screamer. no shoot, vinny. no shoot, cried sergio aguero. it went in top bins,

as the kids say. kept the title in city's hands. if any of these events hadn't gone their way, we'd be crowning liverpool champions for the first time in 29 years. a memorable season, record—breaking season. will the likes of tottenham, chelsea, arsenal or manchester united join the race next season? only 89 days until we do it all again. just 2a hours after brighton lost to manchester city, they have sacked their manager. chris hughton had been at the club forfour and a half years, took them to the premier league for the first time and to an fa cup semifinal for the first time in 36 years. however, brighton's recent poor form saw them struggle to avoid relegation. after yesterdays loss, hughton seemed oblivious to the boards plans to dismiss him. we wa nt we want to be better next season, and italy way we do that is to produce better results, particularly

here, which is ourfailing. to score more goals than we have be able to do. that is the hard work we will do in the summer, because want to be better, and we will need to be because this division is getting more demanding and tougher. i do not expect it to be an easier season. we will need to be better. well, hughton's dismissal has been the talk of social media all day — these are just a selection of tweets from footballing figures. including brighton midfielder yves bissouma. gary cahill —— gary lineker said... what do the brighton fans think? the

decision to sack chris hughton has divided fans in equal measure. some think that sacking him is tantamount to treachery. he has kept the club up to treachery. he has kept the club up in the premier league for two seasons in a row. it has obviously meant that the club benefits financially from that. but there are other fans who say that chris hughton has taken there's club as far as hughton has taken there's club as farasi hughton has taken there's club as faras i can hughton has taken there's club as far as i can go. also that his methods are negative, too defensive, boring to watch. and it seems as if the club chairman, tony bloom, agrees with that letter opinion. he said in his statement that three games, three when 1024 simply not good enough and puts the club's premier league status at significant risk. the question now of course is, who will take over? the smart money at the moment is on graham potter

who is the manager of swansea. he has kept the club end their mid—table position on very little money. he has had some significant experience in swedish football, but mr potter does not have any premier league experience, so appointing him would be a risk for brighton and hove albion. few in football would disagree that whoever takes over here next, it will be the most important decision that this club has made in quite some time. earlier i spoke to kerry mayo who made over 400 appearances for the club, he said that despite shooting's success , said that despite shooting's success, recent results were not good enough. he got us to the premier league, two seasons ago, it was amazing. by anyone's standards. he has had the full backing of tony bloom and the board, all this time.

i think you look at the run of results since christmas, any premier league manager will be under pressure by they are not producing three point or totally trying to climb the table as much as writing could have done. —— brighton could have done. stagnant, really. with liverpool missing out on the domestic title, the club's attention will surely now turn to europe. with a place in the champions league final — they have another chance of a trophy. it's an all england affair with tottenham getting to their first ever champions league final. 0ur reporter david 0rnstein is in madrid where it'll take place next month welcome to the stadium, home of atletico madrid, dolly 1st ofjune it will play host to the changes league final. tottenham against liverpool, this of the walk that the players will take onto the pitch. it

was opened in 2017, the fifth time that the city of madrid will host the european cup final, the first time that their stadium well. 16,000 capacity that will be reduced to around 63,000 on the night itself. officially 16, 17,000 fans from both totte n ha m officially 16, 17,000 fans from both tottenham and liverpool, and over there and the north stand is whether totte n ha m there and the north stand is whether tottenha m fa ns there and the north stand is whether tottenham fans will be situated. down here as their dugout. that seat at the end on the left is where merit or pochettino will be sacked. his staff and substitutes running along there. and if we swing over here to the south stand, that is where the liverpool fans will be. if you look across here are my that will be the dugout thatjugen klopp, his staff and players will find themselves in. around 30 degrees today, i can tell you at pitch level it is hot, but despite it being even warmer in three weeks' time, the kick—off is at eight o'clock and so it should have cooled a little bit.

the pitch, despite having had a entire season paid on it, looks in pristine condition added but not be used again before the final. it looks perfectly good. more than good. for 120 minutes of football, perhaps a penalty shoot out ended 2019 changes league final between liverpool and tottenham. the atmosphere inside this place will be electric. millwall lionesses have chosen to break away from the men's team. millwall released a statement saying they were disappointed that the management for the women's team had taken the decision to become independent. it comes after the lionesses narrowly avoided having to disband because of financial difficulties last season. they'll be known as the london city lionesses. british heavyweight boxer tyson fury has said he is loving boxing more than ever. fury looked in good shape as he spoke to the media ahead of his las vegas debut against the german tom schwarz next month.
