Manchester City on Sunday made English Premier League history by becoming the first side to clinch four consecutive titles after beating West Ham at the Etihad stadium
Pep Guardiola’s team had been vying with Arsenal for the 2023/24 title, holding a two-point lead over the Gunners before kickoff.
Man City broke the record previously held by cross-town rivals Manchester United from 2006/07 to 2008/09 under then manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
The defending champions needed only two minutes to show they meant business when Phil Foden found the back of the net, as Rodri put the game to rest with a third in the 59th minute to seal the game.
Meanwhile, Arsenal missed out on a first Premier League title since 2004 despite beating Everton as Manchester City took the glory.
To be crowned champions, the Gunners needed to beat the Toffees and hope City failed to win against West Ham.
Arsenal suffered a setback when Idrissa Gueye's deflected free-kick put Everton in front, although Takehiro Tomiyasu equalised three minutes later.
While Arsenal did eventually hold up their end of the bargain with Kai Havertz's late winner, ultimately City's victory over West Ham took matters out of their hands.
