Man City clinch historic fourth Premier League title despite Arsenal win
Al Jazeera
City beat West Ham United 3-1 at home to secure their eighth title ahead of Arsenal, who beat Everton 2-1.
Manchester City created English football history by overcoming West Ham 3-1 to win their fourth straight Premier League title and break Arsenal’s hearts as Jurgen Klopp made an emotional Liverpool exit.
Phil Foden scored two early goals at an expectant Etihad Stadium on Sunday to put his side on the brink of the title before Mohammed Kudus pulled one back with a spectacular overhead kick.
But Rodri struck just before the hour to restore City’s two-goal cushion and the home side rarely looked troubled as they coasted to the win.
Arsenal started the day two points behind their rivals and praying for a miracle to deny City their coronation, knowing that a win against Everton would not be enough if the champions won on home turf.
The Gunners, without a Premier League title since 2004, came from a goal down to beat Everton 2-1 but had to content themselves with second in the table for a second straight season.
