A few minutes later, the Sky Blues demanded a red card for Dean Henderson as they claimed that the goalkeeper played with his hand outside the box, but after a VAR review, the game continued.

Another controversial thing happened when Manchester City received a penalty in the 36^th minute as Erling Haaland decided to let Omar Marmoush take the penalty, but his shot was saved by Henderson, and the London team kept its lead at halftime.

In the 59^th minute, the Eagles scored again, but after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed for an offside.

After that, the Sky Blues took control of the match as their biggest chance to tie the result came in the 82^nd minute when the reserve Claudio Echeverri was very close to scoring, but Henderson denied him and kept his team lead.

Despite the extra 10 minutes, Pep Guardiola’s side failed to score, and the Eagles triumphed with a historic title.
