Pep Guardiola was unable to sign off with one last victory as his glorious Manchester City reign ended in defeat to Aston Villa.
Ollie Watkins scored twice as Villa came from behind to win 2-1 on a sweltering and emotional afternoon at the Etihad Stadium.
Antoine Semenyo had put City ahead with his 11th goal since his January move from Bournemouth but the occasion was more about farewells than events on the pitch.
After 10 years and 20 trophies, Guardiola was taking charge of City for the 593rd and final time.
Two mainstays of his glittering reign, Bernardo Silva and John Stones, were also making their last appearances for the club.
When news of Guardiola’s departure leaked earlier in the week, City were still in contention for what would have been a seventh Premier League title under the Spaniard.
Hopes he might sign off with yet more silverware ended when his side were held to a draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday, but supporters remained in buoyant mood as they marked the end of an era.
