Manchester City Secure Fourth Consecutive Premier League Title
Manchester City clinched their fourth consecutive English league title with a solid performance against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium. Needing a win to hold off Arsenal, who trailed by two points, City got off to a strong start with Phil Foden scoring early. Foden added another goal before halftime, and although West Ham managed to score, Rodri’s strike restored City’s lead. Despite a late scare, City’s victory was never in doubt.
Pep Guardiola’s remarkable achievement sees him join an elite group of managers with six or more English top-flight titles, alongside legends such as Alex Ferguson, George Ramsay, and Bob Paisley.
In terms of European qualification, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have secured spots in the Champions League, while Tottenham Hotspur will compete in the Europa League.
The outcome of the FA Cup final will determine additional European spots, with Chelsea or Manchester United potentially securing Europa League qualification.
Erling Haaland won his second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot with 27 goals, followed closely by Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Newcastle striker Alexander Isak.
Reflecting on the achievement, Phil Foden expressed gratitude for the team’s hard work throughout the season. “It is so hard to put into words what we’ve done today. No team has ever done it [won four in a row], we have put ourselves into the history books. You see what it means to the fans and to us players working all year for this moment. A special moment to share it with the fans.”
