Arsenal's dreams of a first Premier League crown in 20 years were dashed as their 2-1 win against Everton was rendered irrelevant by Manchester City's title-clinching victory over West Ham.

Mikel Arteta's side had gone into the last day of the season needing to beat Everton at the Emirates Stadium and hope City drew or lost in Manchester if they were to steal the title in miraculous fashion.

Arsenal was forced to settle for second place after relentless champions, City beat West Ham 3-1.

Idrissa Gueye put Everton in front late in the first half before Takehiro Tomiyasu quickly equalised.

At the time Kai Havertz scored Arsenal's winner in the 89th minute, City were already well on course to retain the title.

Arsenal had been almost flawless in 2024, with 16 wins and one draw, away to City, in their 18 league matches.

However, one costly slip-up in a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa last month proved decisive in denying them a first title since Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' in 2004.

The Gunners finished two points behind City, who have won an unprecedented four successive titles and six in the last seven years.

Fans who spoke with reporters reacted to Arsenal's dreams of a first Premier League title in 20 years being ruined by Manchester City's victory over West Ham.
