At last, Manchester City's players can enjoy a serene Premier League title triumph.

City won 3-1 against Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday to move to the brink of glory, but United's shock home loss to the league's bottom side wrapped up the trophy they have seemed destined to lift since the start of an all-conquering campaign.

With two wins, four draws and two defeats, City take 10 points from this mini-league from a possible 24, maybe enough for a second or third-place finish considering the fact every team will take points off everyone else.

Mourinho claimed afterwards that he had not been happy with the City result because he knew they would win the league regardless and he accused some of his players of getting carried away.

Mourinho, though, was quick to dampen talk that United had handed the title to City, insisting it is their dominance over the season that secured their coronation. This league title is for you too!

Petr Cech, Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard fell 1-0 to a Nicolas Anelka penalty that day, and so City win this rematch 13 years later with a little more room to spare.

"I had a feeling when I woke up this morning", Kompany said.

"It's a painful one for me, because a few of those guys are my friends, so it's hard for me to see them in that position", Lukaku told MUTV.

But City, who will stage a title party when they host Swansea on Sunday, have a chance to underline their credentials over their last five matches.

The first half was a awful advert for the English top-flight.

This year has not been much better. Chris Brunt hit a corner kick in the 73rd minute against the Red Devils to set up the play.

José Mourinho's United was at home to West Bromwich Albion, rooted to the foot of the table, all but assured of relegation, and coming to the end of a season in which it has fired two managers, a chairman, a chief executive and a director of football.

Daniel Sturridge, Nacer Chadli and Sam Field could all be back in contention for West Brom.

"It's about togetherness. We're all a family at this club, and that's how I've treated it".

Regardless, we still have a number of footballers who can be a nightmare to the opposition without even having the ball.
