Manchester City clinched their sixth Premier League title in seven seasons with a final-day victory over West Ham, ensuring they finished ahead of Arsenal in the standings. This triumph marks a record fourth consecutive season as champions under Pep Guardiola.
City secured their title at the Etihad Stadium, narrowly edging out Arsenal by two points. Their 3-1 win over West Ham was highlighted by Phil Foden’s standout performance, scoring twice and earning the Man of the Match award. Reflecting on the victory, Foden told Sky Sports, “Not just me, all the lads have played in important games, we’ve played this scenario over. We were confident. It’s paid off. It was the perfect start. The [nickname] sniper is going to stay forever now. This feeling will never get old. I want this winning feeling always.”
This achievement places Manchester City in a unique position, surpassing Manchester United as the only team to win the Premier League four seasons in a row.
Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville praised City’s relentless performance, stating, “What an amazing achievement from Manchester City’s players and coach. Man City come back week after week, month after month, season after season. From a sporting perspective, you can’t take anything away from them. They are at such a high level.”
Despite trailing Liverpool by three points and Arsenal by one as late as March 31, City surged to the top by winning their final nine league games. This remarkable run was bolstered by individual accolades for Phil Foden, named FWA Player of the Year, and Erling Haaland, the Golden Boot winner.
With the Premier League title secured, Manchester City now turn their attention to completing a domestic double. They face Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday, May 25.
