With their 3-1 victory over West Ham at the Etihad stadium, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team became the first English team to win four league titles in a row.
Pep Guardiola’s side have now won six out of the last seven Premier League titles having finished off the table with 91 points, as Arsenal missed the mark for the second year straight.
City romped to a convincing victory thanks to a pair of goals from Phil Foden and a third from Rodri, which was the cherry on top of a historic day for the club and English football.
Even though Everton was defeated by Mikel Arteta’s team, it was not enough to stop Guardiola’s team, who won the league by just two points.
City and Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United were the only teams in Premier League history to win three in succession with the Red Devils doing as such between 1998-99 and 2000-01 and afterward again in 2006-07 and 2008-09. Prior to the origin of the Premier League, just Huddersfield Town, Arsenal and Liverpool had at any point won three on the jog.
City achieved a record of three last season as part of their victory in the treble, and they have now won their fourth title on their own.
Phil Foden scored a screamer within two minutes to get City off to a flying start against West Ham. Rodri followed with a goal on a great day for the champions at the Etihad.
Phil Foden has had a huge impact in their success this season winning the Football Writers’ Player of the Year award as well as the Premier League Player of the Year, and it was obvious in the last game.
Erling Haaland also played a fundamental part in City’s success. After scoring 36 goals in a season that set a new record last year, he scored 27 times to win the Golden Boot of the Premier League for the second year in a row.
According to the team’s records, Man City’s Pep Guardiola has accomplished what Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger, and Jose Mourinho could not. The team recently won the title.

Phil Foden, a young City supporter, was the season’s star, winning the Football Writers’ Association and Premier League Player of the Year for his 19 goals and 8 assists in City jersey.
Arsenal has lost five games this season, while Manchester City has only lost three.
The Arsenal team will look back on their April loss to Aston Villa, led by former manager Unai Emery, at the Emirates, which featured two late goals from Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins.
Arsenal in the first-half of the season lost games to Newcastle, Aston Villa, West Ham and Fulham – with consecutive losses against the last two making it three wins on the bob without a win after they also drew against Liverpool.
City always finish the season strongly, as Liverpool has done twice before, when they lost the title by one point. They hadn’t lost since December 6 when they lost 1-0 to Aston Villa.
On May 25, when they play Manchester United in the FA Cup final for the second time in a row at Wembley, City will attempt to complete the domestic double.
