"Manchester City players made sure they enjoyed their maiden Premier League title win under Pep Guardiola in a night of joyous celebrations that began in a quiet village pub. While Guardiola was busy finishing off a round of golf with world number 12 Tommy Fleetwood, City's stars wasted no time in toasting their title triumph. Less than an hour after Manchester United's shock home defeat to West Brom confirmed arch-rivals City as champions, Guardiola's players headed to the Railway pub in Hale, near Altrincham, where the party began. Speaking to Sky Sports in the wake of Manchester United's surprise defeat, Man City defender Vincent Kompany said he was getting ready to ""go and meet the lads"". Right back Kyle Walker tweeted he was ""on his way to Benjamin Mendy's house to pick him up for the party"", while Bernardo Silva uploaded a video of himself and John Stones on their way to join their team-mates in the Hale pub.
