Manchester City fans ignore warnings and invade Etihad pitch to celebrate winning Premier League title

City were actually crowned kings of the top flight last week following Manchester United's defeat by West Bromwich.

But this was the Citizens' first home game since landing their third championship in six years following the triumphs of 2012 and 2014.

And their delerious supporters weren't about to let the occasion pass without a party.

They engulfed the players after goals from David Silva, Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus had done for the sorry Swans.
