Goodison Park was practically empty when a lone Manchester City player emerged with a ball to do some extra work.
It’s not unusual for substitutes to do a warm-down after a match but what made this little scene a bit different was his identity: it was Kevin De Bruyne.
Here was the Premier League’s most outstanding talent still doing the things that he has done all his life, honing his technique and refusing to cut any corners. De Bruyne hadn’t been seen in the 3-0 defeat of Everton yet City played almost faultless football — imagine if he had got involved? So it made you think.
Some 20 minutes earlier, Pep Guardiola had bounded over to the away supporters, smiling like a man who knew a mission was about to be accomplished.
City, barring an incredible sequence of events, will be crowned champions this coming weekend. That will happen if Arsenal falter at Nottingham Forest. Failing that, Guardiola’s men will surely take care of Chelsea.

If they retain next season, they become the first English top-flight team to win four in a row
This will put them in rarefied company. Football is all about creating history and City will stand beside Huddersfield (1923-1926), Arsenal (1932-1935), Liverpool (1981-1984) and Manchester United
