Man City sets new record with 4th consecutive Premier League title

Manchester City have been crowned Premier League champions for the eighth time after beating West Ham United on Sunday.

A 3-1 win at Etihad Stadium secured the title — their sixth under manager Pep Guardiola — and sees them become the first team in the history of English football to win four successive top-flight league championships.

Phil Foden’s brilliant strike after just 79 seconds set City on their way in the Manchester sunshine before the England international swept home a second 16 minutes later.

Mohammed Kudus’ sensational overhead kick halved the deficit before the break to add some jeopardy before Rodri, who a year ago scored the goal in the Champions League final to complete the treble, settled any nerves with the third.

It’s the second straight year Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been pipped to the post after leading the league for the majority of the season.

The north London side were reliant on City dropping points on the final day to have any chance of winning a first title for 20 years.

A 2-1 win over Everton proved in vain and ensured they finished as runners-up, two points shy of City’s 91.
