Kalvin Phillips is a Premier League winner with Manchester City.
The midfielder joined the club last summer from Leeds United and has won the biggest prize at the first time of asking.
City clinched the league on Saturday night, with Arsenal losing away at Nottingham Forest.
City players were gathered together to watch the game, and footage showed them celebrating when the final whistle went.
It has been a wonderful season for City, and it stands to finish in the best possible way.
Pep Guardiola’s side have been relentless in recent months, brushing teams aside in their pursuit of success.
They’ve won the Premier League, and now have two major cup finals to look forward to: Manchester United in the FA Cup and Inter in the Champions League.
Yesterday, City took on Chelsea and won 1-0.
There was a somewhat strange feeling to the game given City had already seal the title.
Given this fact, Guardiola gave minutes to some of his fringe players.
And there was finally a first league start for Phillips, after he completed a £45 million move from Leeds last summer.
It has been a very tough first season for Phillips at the Etihad, with the 27-year-old staved of minutes.
But it has at lest ended with a Premier League trophy for him.
Declan Rice sends message to Kalvin Phillips after midfielder’s first Premier League title win Manchester City
After the game yesterday, Phillips posted on social media to mark his first title with the club.
He wrote: “Wow… What a feeling. So proud to be a part of this club, surrounded by world class teammates, staff, and of course the fans who help to make moments like these possible, a day I’ll never forget. Thank you for all the support but it’s not over yet.”
Predictably, there were lots of message of support for Phillips.
West Ham United star Declan Rice, an England teammate of Phillips, replied with ‘congrats bro’.
Rice and Phillips are quite close, and clearly the Hammers skipper is delighted for him.
Rice has been linked with a move to the Etihad in the summer. And BBC pundit Chris Sutton recently stated that he thinks Rice would want to join the club above anyone else.
Perhaps he’ll be ready to push for a move so he can get on on the success train at City.
