Play by play
- 93'
Right, no rest for the wicked, <a href="http://soccernet.espn.go.com/gamecast/_/id/318067?cc=5739" target="_blank">straight over for commentary on Man Utd v Swansea</a>. Fergie's men have to win to keep their faint hopes alive, and preferably, by about ten goals.
- 93'
Disappointment for Newcastle, especially given Tottenham have levelled against Villa. They will sit fifth as it stands but within touching distance of both Arsenal and Newcastle. They could yet get into the Champions League if results go their way but it looks unlikely.

- 93'
In the end it was well deserved - a huge test passed for City and once again Yaya Toure proved the difference. The fans know it and the players do too - they are on course for their first trophy in 44 years.

<b>FULL TIME</b> Manchester City have one hand on the Premier League trophy!

Newcastle have run out of gas a bit here and more bad news for the Toon comes with the news that Spurs have got a penalty.

Now Ameobi shoots from range and Hart saves easily. City's fans sing "We're going to win the league.."
- 91'
Newcastle pour forward and Ameobi crosses for Ba to spin and shoot but Hart saves superbly.
- 90'
A lovely pass from Clichy to set it up, through Santon's legs and Toure couldn't miss. City have passed the squeaky bum test with flying colours.

Toure grabs the second as City break away and a smart finish from City's best player. It is City's title!

A long ball drops to Ameobi who makes a sweet connection on the half volley before Richards blocks. Corner.

Aguero crosses for Dzeko but Ameobi cuts out the ball! Newcastle want him up the other end.
- 86'
A deep cross is nodded across goal by Cisse, then by Ba and Ameobi can't get ahead of Lescott to touch it home. Tense times.
- 85'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/subs.gif"> Another City change, Micah Richards on for David Silva.
- 84'
Now Dzeko pokes over from four yards out at the near post as Silva's corner drops to him. Will City rue these missed chances?
- 83'
Incredible! Toure is sprung clean through, tries to round Krul but slips! Then he manages to touch it off to Aguero and his shot is flicked over by Krul. My oh my.

- 79'
<img src="http://soccernet-assets.espn.go.com/design05/gp10/i/yellow_card.jpg" height="15"> Zabaleta chops down the flying Ferguson and Newcastle can load the box. A yellow duly arrives.
