Premier League Manchester City won their fourth championship in a row, Arsenal finished in second place

Manchester City made history tonight (Sunday) and became the first team in the 136 years of the English league – the oldest in the world – to win four consecutive championships. A 3-1 victory over West Ham gave them their sixth title in the last seven years, and their tenth in total, eight of them in the last 12 years.

Unlike the decisions in the final rounds in recent years in which City won after making life difficult for themselves and falling behind at times, here there was no doubt what was going to happen. 45 seconds after the start, the champion was already in the lead from a wonderful goal by Phil Foden in an arcing kick outside the box, after a assist by Bernardo Silva. City pressed all the time, controlled the ball and pressed for Alphonse Areola’s goal, and in the 18th minute the man who was rightfully chosen yesterday as the player of the season proved himself again with a second goal, this time with a touch from half distance as he followed up an excellent ball by Jeremy Duco.

Erling Holland recorded a big miss, Mohamed Kodos did curl a beautiful scissors kick in a rare attack by the Hammers before half time, while Holland again missed a favorable situation. However, in the 59th minute, City returned to a two-goal lead with a goal by Rhodri after another assist by Silva.

Arsenal needed not only to beat Everton, but to hope for City’s stumbling, but unfortunately for the Gunners, this did not happen. Thus the result at the Emirates became irrelevant, but Arsenal narrowly won, 1:2, this after trailing against the Toffees. Kai Habertz scored the winning goal in the 89th minute.

Liverpool fans held an impressive parade outside Anfield and continued cheering inside in honor of Jurgen Klopp, the German coach in the team’s last game after eight and a half years. In the match against Wolves, the visiting Nelson Semedo received a red card in the 28th minute after a VAR check, and Liverpool took advantage of this to win 0:2 with goals from Alexis McAllister (34) and Jarel Kwansa (41).

At the bottom, Luton’s chances of staying were only mathematical with a three point deficit from Nottingham and a double digit goal difference. Nottingham in any case won, 1:2 against Burnley, while Luton in any case lost -4:2 to Fulham.

Tottenham beat Sheffield United 0:3 thanks to a brace from Diane Kolosevski, finished fifth and will go to the Europa League. Chelsea and Newcastle will be waiting to see if Manchester United win the FA Cup on Saturday. If this happens, United will be second in the Europa League and Chelsea, who finished sixth (after a 1:2 win over Bournemouth including a half-court goal by Moises Caicedo) will play in the Conference League. If United lose to City, Chelsea will be in Europe and Newcastle (who beat Brentford 2:4 away) will play in the conference. United finished eighth on goal difference after Newcastle after beating Brighton 0:2 with goals from Diego Dalot and Rasmus Hoylund.
