A reserve character City won 1-0 against Chelsea – and after the end of the match the crowd stormed the pitch to celebrate the Premier League triumph. Then it quickly developed into total chaos out on the Etihad grass. – For some scenes. The speaker prays on his knees to get people away, said Viaplay commentator Andreas Toft after the match when the scenes of jubilation unfolded. – This was exactly what they wanted not to happen, he added. The Manchester City fans stormed onto the pitch to celebrate league gold after the 1-0 win over Chelsea, and all other celebration of the gold had to wait. Photo: AFP – This is inappropriate Haaland and the other City stars were sent straight into the dressing room when the scenes unfolded. – There is panic among the guards who have to escort the players away, says Pål Andre Helland in the Viaplay studio. Viaplay commentator Lars Tjærnås recalled that such scenes have previously ended in tragedy. He believes the security routines failed completely at Etihad on Sunday. – This is inappropriate, is his judgement. Manchester City have won the series five of the last six seasons. It led to the wild scenes after the match. Only at 19.10, 15 minutes after the end of the match, did the crowd begin to leave the turf so that the gold ceremony could be prepared. Raised the trophy A little past eight thirty Norwegian time, City captain Illkay Gündogan raised the trophy, which is the visible proof that they are England’s best team. The joy was enormous among the light blue superstars on the podium that had been rolled out on the grass on Sunday evening. City lifted the Premier League trophy on Sunday night.

Alfie: – Thankful – It’s fantastic, it’s the first time I’ve been here when they celebrate a league championship, and for everyone who is happy in Manchester City, this is a fantastic day, says father Alfie Haaland to Viaplay after the match. – We are very grateful that we are allowed to come along and experience some of what Erling is going through now, he adds. THUMBS UP FOR REST: Erling Braut Haaland became league champion on Saturday. On Sunday, he got an unusual place on the City bench.

Haaland standing ovation It was easy to notice the enormous position Haaland has gained at the Etihad. – Standing ovations for Gundogan, De Bruyne and Haaland who went out to warm up, Manchester Evening News journalist Joe Bray wrote on Twitter when the Norwegian moved on the sidelines during the second half. Haaland is only the fourth Norwegian to win the Premier League. He copies the feat of Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Ronny Johnsen and Henning Berg clearly before him. – What an insane season that boy has had. Beat all records for the number of goals in the Premier League, 52 goals in total, it’s just laughable, summarized Viaplay commentator Andreas Toft when the 22-year-old was replaced. – What a superstar Norway has got, he added. – Best PL bench in history City sent out a very B-character in the match, which started with Chelsea standing in a guard of honor before the start of the match, a tradition that is about showing respect for a team that has managed to become champions before the end of the season . It was expected that Pep Guardiola would spare players in this match. City’s powerful manager is eyeing another very rare treble, which will go in the box if the light blues beat city rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final on 3 June and Inter in the Champions League final on 10 June. – Rest assured, we are not done yet. We have the FA Cup against our bitter rivals and then the Champions League. We will celebrate tonight, but then we will go on and make history, says City back Kyle Walker to Sky Sports after the victory against Chelsea. Erling Braut Haaland had to settle for starting Sunday’s game on the bench. He apparently took that with a smile. Photo: LEE SMITH / Reuters It was only Walker and Manuel Akanji from the starting XI that beat Real Madrid in the Champions League that started against Chelsea. Big names like Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Rodri and Jack Grealish watched the match from the sidelines from the start. If you add up the transfer fee for everyone who started on the bench for City on Sunday, the sum comes to over £500 million. This corresponds to around NOK 6.8 billion. – The best bench in Premier League history, wrote former great player Darren Bent on Twitter before the start of the match. This is how City started against Chelsea Stefan Ortega, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte, Manuel Akanji – Kalvin Phillips, Rico Lewis – Riyad Mahrez, Cole Palmer, Sergio Gómez, Phil Foden – Julián Álvarez. Helland on Chelsea: – The Ræva match was another setback for a crisis-stricken Chelsea team. The proud London club is currently in 12th place with 43 points with two games remaining in the season. Thus, they can get a maximum of 49 points. To put it in perspective: 50 points is the lowest they have had in Premier League history. This season they have so far scored a whopping 36 goals. The last time Chelsea scored fewer than 40 goals in the league system was in 23/24, i.e. 99 years ago. – The fox, to put it in good Trøndish. Simply ass. It’s terrible, the way they behave collectively, was the verdict from Viaplay expert Pål André Helland during the break. Erling Braut Haaland is the top scorer of all time in the Premier League. See all his goals. Although City provided the reserves, it became clear that there is nothing to skimp on either. City took the lead already after 12 minutes when Haaland’s replacement and world champion Julián Álvarez scored 1-0. The same man thought he made it 2-0 after 72 minutes, but the goal was disallowed for a handball on Riyad Mahrez in front. Thus it ended 1-0 to the home team Manchester City this Sunday as well. Even without a Norwegian at the top from the start. The Norwegian football star Erling Braut Haaland posted a picture of him playing Minecraft, then the reactions poured in.
