MANCHESTER CITY have been celebrating their Premier League title win with an open-top bus parade in the city centre.

Pep Guardiola's men became the first side to reach 100 points as they brushed off competition from rivals Manchester United - with left-back Benjamin Mendy running around TOPLESS amid raucous celebrations.

And fans lined the streets to congratulate their heroes on the incredible feat.

City achieved their magnificent points haul thanks to a last-gasp Gabriel Jesus winner against Southampton on Sunday.

And supporters went wild as the champions drove into town on the top of a double decker bus adorned with pictures.

Pep Guardiola waved to his adoring public as the tactician opted to take a seat at the back of the vehicle.

It was therefore down to younger members of the squad such as Benjamin Mendy and Raheem Sterling to get the party going.

At one point, Mendy even got off the bus, taking off his top, and run around on the road in order to get the crowd going - as Kyle Walker waved a blue flare in the air.

The England defender and Leroy Sane led the thousands in attendance to a song - and the choice was obvious.

It was a tune from Man City-supporting Oasis, with Wonderwall giving those in the crowd goosebumps.

Fans clambered up lampposts and filled the streets to watch two double-decker busses drive past.

Captain Vincent Kompany held up the Premier League trophy to huge cheers as the Carabao Cup victory in February was also celebrated.

The party continued on a stage, with fans getting close to the stars and the silverware.

Inflatables were thrown around and kicked before the trophy was raised one last time to toast Pep's team.
