Noel Gallagher sings Wonderwall during City’s dressing room title celebrations
Manchester City fan and Oasis star Noel Gallagher belted out one of the Manchester band’s biggest hits after his team secured its fourth Premier League title.
City had to win at Brighton on the final day to be sure of defending their crown, and a ruthless attacking display saw them comfortably home with a 4-1 victory.
And while the Amex Stadium is more accustomed to football matches than rock and roll, Gallagher put on a special performance with the City players and staff in the dressing room after the final whistle.

Players joined the former Oasis frontman in a rendition of Wonderwall before chanting in celebration of their title defence.
“Today is gonna be the day” Bernardo Silva tweeted.

Meanwhile, City youngster Phil Foden captioned his photo alongside Gallagher with another of the band’s songs.
“Champagne Football. Champagne Supernova” he tweeted.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
