City's second XI put on show to ease past Chelsea as Pep's Treble chasers are crowned Prem champs once again... and prove no one can live with them

THEY should have cut straight to the trophy presentation.

This felt more like an exhibition match getting in the way of a party at the Etihad, with the champions putting on another show to remind us all how far ahead they are.

Incredibly, City were eight points behind Arsenal on April 1 but will end up winning the title by double figures if they win their remaining games at Brighton and Brentford.

That is some turnaround. But it says everything about Pep Guardiola's relentless attitude which is carrying him towards a treble.

The Premier League title is the first step. The FA Cup final is the next target, with Manchester United at Wembley next month. Then it's Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

After being confirmed champions for the fifth time in six years by Arsenal's defeat at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

City made it 12 straight wins in the Premier League by comfortably seeing off Chelsea. No one can live with them.

And Guardiola is the genius who drives this team forward.

When Chelsea had a corner in the 93rd minute, the Spaniard was down on his haunches in the technical area looking distraught at the prospect of City's winning run ending.
