Premier League title live updates: Man City gets the title with 3-1 win, Arsenal finish second

Manchester City has put their stamp on history.

With a 3-1 win at home against West Ham on Saturday, the club has earned an unprecedented fourth consecutive English Premier League title. It was their sixth championship in the past seven seasons, a feat never accomplished before.

Arsenal, despite their best season since “The Invincibles” went undefeated in 2003–04, fell just two points short in the table. The Gunners (28-5-5) won 2-1 at home against Everton on Sunday.

Phil Foden, voted EPL Player of the Season earlier this week, notched the first two goals for Manchester City (28-7-3) at the 2nd and 18th minute, respectively.

West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus’ incredible bicycle kick off a corner in the 42nd minute gave hope for Arsenal fans, but it wasn’t enough.

Manchester City put the game — and the season — away on Rodri’s goal in the 59th minute.

The result gives Manchester City eight EPL titles, the second most in history behind Manchester United’s 13.

What to know about last day of the Premier League

  • Manchester City and Arsenal both entered the final day of the season with a chance to claim the title but City was able to come out on top.
