Pitch invasion left Mendy surrounded on City return

It was a dominant performance from the English champions as they fired five past helpless Swansea, setting two new league records in the process.

The 5-0 victory moved the Manchester club onto 90 points but the main positive from the match was that defender Benjamin Mendy finally made his return from a serious injury, coming off the bench in the 74th minute to replace Fabian Delph.

His appearance was his first in six months and 28 days and could now give him an opportunity to still make the France squad for the World Cup in June. 

Fans showed their delight by surrounding the defender when a pitch invasion happened at full-time, the crowd overjoyed to finally be able to celebrate their league title with the players. 

Despite his absences from the field, Mendy has become a fan favourite due to his humourous posts on social media.
