Manchester City won their 4th consecutive Premier League title

Manchester. Manchester City won a fourth straight Premier League title on Sunday, beating West Ham 3-1 in the final game of the season.

City are the first team to be crowned champions of English football’s top division four years in a row after seeing off the challenge of second-placed Arsenal, who beat Everton 2-1.

Two goals from Phil Foden in the first half put Pep Guardiola’s side on course for their latest title. Mohammed Kudus pulled a goal back for West Ham with a stunning overhead kick, but Rodri restored City’s lead as they marched towards a sixth title in seven seasons.

Guardiola’s side needed to beat West Ham at the Etihad Stadium to secure the title after going into the game two points clear at the top of the table.

Foden helped calm any potential nerves among the home fans when he put City ahead with a brilliant goal inside two minutes.

Receiving a pass from Bernardo Silva, Foden rounded West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse and unleashed a left-footed shot from outside the area that curled into the top corner. The goal was timed at just under 80 seconds.

Foden, England’s Footballer of the Year, added a second in the 18th minute when he converted Jeremy Doku’s cross from close range.

Kudus produced a moment of magic in the 42nd with an acrobatic overhead kick that could have given Arsenal hope of an unlikely comeback.

But it didn’t take long for City to extend their lead again after the break when Rodri fired an effort from the edge of the box that West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola couldn’t keep out despite giving a hand to the ball.

City finished the season with 91 points — two more than Arsenal.
