Phil Foden was on fire, netting two spectacular goals in the first half to underline his status as the Football Writers’ Association and Premier League Player of the Year.
While Mohammed Kudus managed to sneak in a consolation goal for West Ham, it was Rodri who put the final nail in the coffin with a thunderous strike, securing Manchester City’s monumental sixth Premier League title in seven years.
The victory wasn’t just another notch on the belt for City; it marked an unprecedented achievement in the league’s 136-year history as they became the first team ever to win four consecutive titles.
City’s path to glory was paved with an impressive streak of 19 wins and four draws, leaving their last defeat a distant memory. Now, all eyes are on them as they aim to complete a domestic double in the upcoming FA Cup final against arch-rivals Manchester United.
Despite the celebrations, there’s a cloud hanging over the club, with no verdict yet on the 115 Premier League charges they face over alleged financial shenanigans.
Pep Guardiola couldn’t help but sing praises for Foden, hinting that the young star might be on his way to chasing down Ryan Giggs’ legendary record of 13 titles. The match also highlighted City’s unbeaten home record and their total dominance, setting a high bar for what’s expected in future seasons under Guardiola’s masterful leadership.
