In an unprecedented achievement, Manchester City clinched their fourth consecutive Premier League title by defeating West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.
This victory marks them as the first team to secure the English league title for four successive seasons.
The final day of the season saw City in a must-win situation to fend off Arsenal, who were trailing by just two points but had a superior goal difference. The match started off on a high note for City, with Phil Foden, the star player from England, scoring a goal within the first two minutes.
Foden managed to score another goal before halftime. Despite Mohammed Kudus’ efforts to narrow the gap, City’s midfielder Rodri retaliated with a goal from the edge of the area at the 59th minute, reinstating City’s two-goal lead.
A moment of tension arose when West Ham scored a second goal, only to have it disallowed by VAR due to a handball. Despite this, City’s triumph was never truly threatened.
This victory concludes an impressive streak for City, with 19 victories and four draws since their last league defeat at Aston Villa on December 6.
With this win, City has now secured six of the last seven Premier League titles. Last season, they joined the ranks of Huddersfield, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United (twice) in winning the top flight three years consecutively.
