Man City Win Record Fourth EPL Title In A Row, Arsenal Heartbroken

Imperious Manchester City beat West Ham at Etihad Stadium to become the first team to win the English league title four seasons in a row.

Manchester City’s domination of the domestic game is now so all-consuming that a historic fourth successive Premier League title is treated like an inevitable matter of routine.

City went into the final game of the season ahead for the sixth time in seven seasons needing only a win over West Ham United to lift the crown once more – and they duly delivered.

In doing so, Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team once again proved they are the great untouchables of the Premier League.

They appear impervious to normal pressures – and the fact they have rewritten the record books will barely provoke excessive comment or deep-dive analysis. It was expected. The seismic shock would have been failure to complete their mission.

Arsenal also won their match against Everton, but it was too late to hand the Gunners their first PL title in 20 years leaving the Arsenal player distraught at the end of the game.

Arsenal finished the season as runners-up to Manchester City despite Kai Havertz’s late goal clinching a 2-1 win over Everton at the Emirates Stadium.

Havertz’s close-range finish survived a lengthy VAR check for handball after Takehiro Tomiyasu’s goal had cancelled out Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free-kick in the first half.

The 89th-minute strike ensured a winning end to the campaign for Arsenal but they needed a City slip-up against West Ham to claim the title and it did not come, with Pep Guardiola’s side winning 3-1.
