Manchester City retained the Premier League title in style on Sunday, coming from behind against Brighton and finishing ahead of Liverpool after a thrilling campaign.

Pep Guardiola's team beat Brighton 4-1 away to finish on 98 points -- the second-highest total in Premier League history -- as Liverpool beat Wolves 2-0 at Anfield to finish a single point behind.

City, who had 14 league wins at the end of the season, are the first side to retain the title since their rivals Manchester United in 2009, and remain on course for the first domestic treble in English football history.

City broke a host of Premier League records in romping to the title last season, becoming the first team in English top-flight history to reach 100 points and finishing a record 19 points clear of closest rivals Manchester United.
