Manchester City on Sunday emerged champions of the 2023/24 English Premier League season after overpowering West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad on the campaign’s final day.
The City claimed the title after finishing just two points over Arsenal, who defeated Everton 2-1 at the Emirate Stadium.
The latest title triumph is Man City’s fourth consecutive title, a record-setting achievement for Pep Guardiola’s side.
It is also the club’s 10th EPL title and the sixth since Guardiola took over the team in 2016.
A Phil Foden brace and Rodri’s shot in second-half ensured Man City ended the season with 91 points over Arsenal’s accumulated total of 89.
The two teams’ performances took the title race to the season’s final day, and the Citizens executed their plans to perfection.
Arsenal had to come from a goal down against Everton, but their effort proved short of the indefatigable champions.
Idrissa Gueye put Everton ahead early in the first half after his freekick was deflected past David Raya by Declan Rice into the net. The Gunners struck back three minutes later when Takehiro Tomiyaso stroked the ball home after Martin Odegaard teed him up.
Kai Havertz completed the come-back for Mikel Arteta’s side with one of the final kicks of the game.
Elsewhere, Jurgen Klopp got a winning farewell in his final game at Anfield, thanks to a Liverpool 2-0 victory over ten-men Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Chelsea confirmed their return to European football next season with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth, while Manchester United will hope to win the FA Cup for a chance to play European football next season after finishing eighth in the league despite a 2-0 win at Brighton.
Luton join Burnley and Sheffield United to be relegated from the EPL following a 4-2 loss to Fulham at home.
