Manchester City fans are celebrating after their team pipped rivals United to the Premier League title after a 44-year wait. The win mirrors the campaign in 1968 when City last topped the league - with United finishing second. Sir Richard Leese, leader of Manchester City Council, said it had been "a nail-biting finish to the season". He announced there would be a victory parade in the city on Monday evening so fans could enjoy the "historic moment". "The council stood ready to support a parade whichever club triumphed," he said. "This parade is an opportunity for Man City fans, who have experienced countless ups and downs over the years, to celebrate a resounding success."
