In the final day of the Premier League title race, Manchester City claimed an unprecedented fourth consecutive title, finishing ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool. City secured the title with a win against West Ham United. Arsenal finished second and Liverpool third in the standings. City’s win was historic as no other club has won more than three titles in a row in the league’s 136-year history.
Despite a strong challenge from Arsenal, City’s victory felt inevitable as they maintained their lead at the top of the table for most of the season. Phil Foden played a crucial role in City’s win on Championship Sunday, scoring two goals in the opening 20 minutes of the match. City’s dominance was further solidified with a third goal from Rodri, sealing their place in English football history. Arsenal, while falling short of the title, had an impressive season and pushed City until the final day.
Arsenal can be proud of their performance in the season, despite ultimately finishing as runners-up. The Gunners forced City to maintain a perfect record in their final ten games to secure the title. Kai Harvertz’s late winner for Arsenal on the final day showcased their determination and potential to challenge City in future seasons. Arsenal’s performance this season positions them as strong contenders for future title challenges.
The relegation battle at the bottom of the table was less dramatic on the final day, with Sheffield United and Burnley already confirmed for relegation. Luton Town, though mathematically still in contention for survival, faced an uphill battle due to goal difference. Luton’s loss to Fulham on the final day sealed their fate, as Nottingham Forest secured a victory to ensure their survival in the Premier League. The relegation battle was overshadowed by the exciting title race at the top of the table.
