Manchester City's title party started with pints, jagerbombs, dancing and singing at a humble local pub in Hale on Sunday night.
Having been surprised by Manchester United’s shock home defeat by West Bromwich Albion, City’s superstars headed for the Railway pub in Hale to celebrate.
There, the players bought drinks for everyone in the bar and captain Vincent Kompany issued a passionate speech while holding a pint of Guinness.
The title-winners headed across the road to the Hale Wine Bar at 8.30pm, where Portuguese midfielder Bernardo Silva would sing Oasis classic Wonderwall while Kyle Walker banged on the windows and wrote ‘CITY’ into the condensation on the glass.
