What are the key moments of Manchester City's title celebrations?

Unknown 0:07
Dean Hoyle knows it. The players know it. The fans know it. Huddersfield Town are a point closer to staying in the Premier League. Brilliant performance here to Hull City today. Matthijs Jorgensen now with Jeff Shreves. Matthias, bearing the situation you're in, coming in, nobody gave you a chance of getting anything here today. What sort of result is that? Yeah, it's great. Coming in here, we had a belief that we can keep the clean sheet and I think the boys did brilliant. I think we all did brilliant and, of course, need a little bit of luck in a tough place like this, but we got it and we're, of course, really happy with the point. You say you believed. How was it on the nerves as the game counted down?
Unknown 0:46
Well, of course, you look up at the clock and... It seems to go slower and slower, but I think we have the belief all the way through, and, yeah, we come away with a salt. You also had a couple of decent chances. You could have won it. Yeah, well, you can't be too greedy, so we'll take the point, and then we'll go on from there. What was the plan going into the game? It was actually to go up and press them high. I think we did a good job doing that the first 30 minutes. Then we got a little bit tired and then we came out in the second half and of course we were pressured down in our half. But I think the way we doubled up on the sides with their really good wingers, the plan turned out to be a great one.

You say you got a little tired. Just how hard work is it chasing a team like Manchester City? It's horrible. It's horrible, but when it's all said and done and you come away with a clean sheet, it's worth it. How valuable will this point be in terms of survival? Not maybe just the point, but the confidence it can give you for your remaining games. Yeah, definitely. The confidence is the most important thing. Of course, we want to add to our tally every week and... Yeah, this point, this confidence that we take from here just knows that we can get a point against the best in the league. So we should get it against the fourth, fifth or sixth or whatever they are on the table. How strong is the belief now, after today, that you can stay up?
Unknown 2:07
It's as strong as it's been all year long. Well done today. Thank you. Well done indeed. Graeme Souness, Thierry Henry and Jamie Rennap are here, pitch side now. We just have to wait a few moments for the Premier League to get the presentation ceremony ready for Man City to get their hands on the title. While they do that, we'll reflect on what was actually a really good point for Huddersfield, Graeme.
Graeme Souness 2:28
How deserving were they?
Unknown 2:29
Great point. They gave their manager everything. The first 20 minutes, I saw they were really good. They managed to get on the front foot, pressed City, made City make mistakes. But I think it was a good time to play City. It's hard. I've been in this situation. You know, you've won the title. It's hard. If you just drop your effort levels by 2% or 3%, you might not be effective. And I think City today were 2% or 3% off their level. What's that the story, do you think, Cherry? It was just a case of City dropping the levels that we've seen from them, even in recent weeks since winning the title.
Graeme Souness 2:57
We can talk about it now. I think they didn't have that killing instinct today. From what they did against West Ham and Swansea, I really thought that today was going to be showtime. But listen, sometimes it takes a lot out of you when you know you're going to get that trophy in your hand. And you have to give Huddersfield a lot of credit because they came with a plan. People might say, yeah, it could have been a different city. It doesn't matter. They got that point. Well done to them. Not a lot of people. I was part of them. Give them a chance today. But they were believing in it. And that's the most important thing. And they did it.
Unknown 3:30
Huddersfield now surely have massive belief that they can find that extra point, even though they have two more difficult games. Absolutely. And I look at that game, especially at home against Arsenal. That's a fixture you like.
