In a historic achievement, Manchester City have won their fourth consecutive Premier League title, becoming the first side in the history of the English top flight to accomplish this feat. Pep Guardiola’s men sealed the championship with a 3-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday.
The Cityzens were pushed all the way by a resilient Arsenal side, but their relentless form in the run-in, winning their final nine league games and scoring 33 goals, proved to be the decisive factor.
Phil Foden was the star of the show, scoring a brace to inspire City’s triumph. The England international’s early opener set the tone, and he doubled the lead midway through the first half with another composed finish.
While Mohammed Kudus briefly halved the deficit with an acrobatic overhead kick, Rodri’s strike in the second half sealed the three points and the title for the champions.
Erling Haaland, despite missing several clear-cut chances, still managed to claim his second successive Premier League Golden Boot award, showcasing his clinical finishing prowess.
Guardiola’s tactical mastermind and the squad’s relentless hunger have been the hallmarks of City’s sustained dominance. The Catalan coach has now led the club to six Premier League titles in the past seven seasons, cementing their status as one of the greatest teams in English football history.
The celebrations at the Etihad Stadium were marred by a slight incident, as fans prematurely rushed onto the pitch before the final whistle, requiring the players to urge them to return to the stands.
Manchester City’s quest for further glory continues as they prepare to face Manchester United in the FA Cup final next weekend, where they will be aiming to secure the domestic double.
