Peter Drury's Commentary For Manchester City's Premier League Title Winner Was Pure Poetry

City found themselves 2-0 down at home to Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa, who looked to be doing Liverpool a favour courtesy of goals from Matty Cash and Philippe Coutinho.

It was all going wrong for Pep Guardiola's men but then frustration changed to elation in five crazy minutes as City struck three times.

Ilkay Gundogan pulled one back, Rodri levelled matters and then it was the German, on as a substitute, who came up with the winner that sent the Etihad Stadium into a frenzy in the 80th minute.

The 54-year-old has a special knack for encapsulating football's most dramatic moments and he did it once again with another spine-tingling monologue when Gundogan popped up.

"GUNDOGAN! From the brink of despair... elation! From catastrophe, cacophonic joy! The stuff of stellar champions. That's why City are a sensation."

He's easily the most popular commentator out there and won the Football Supporters' Association Commentator of the Year award for a second time last year.

“I’m flattered by it, pleased by it. I try to give great respect to it because it’s voted for by fans, which is great.

“But with respect to whether it’s important in my head, I don’t take it too seriously because there are some very good commentators out there.

“If what I’m doing resonates with people then that is obviously a nice thing. I don’t set out to do that. I’m just very lucky that I do a job where I can express myself and enjoy football, and who wouldn’t love that?"
