Little had been said of the Blues' footballing prowess in the days following their title victory at Brighton, and it could be the same all summer
Another game, another trophy for Manchester City.
At the end of a week in which many connected with the club felt their on-the-pitch achievements had been glossed over, they went to Wembley and did what they do best; ruthlessly winning football matches.
They won 14 on the bounce to secure a 98-point Premier League title, 12 months after an historic 100-point campaign. In each of those seasons they won 32 matches, an English record.
