Manchester City secured a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title in emphatic fashion, dispatching West Ham 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

Phil Foden, recently named Player of the Season, silenced any lingering nerves with a blistering start. He netted twice within the opening 20 minutes, the first a powerful strike after cutting inside and the second a cool finish after Doku’s teasing cross.

Pep Guardiola’s men oozed confidence throughout, showcasing their attacking prowess under the scorching sun. Despite Erling Haaland being denied a goal, City continued to press, with Rodri forcing a save and Doku testing the goalkeeper twice.

West Ham, missing key attacker Jarrod Bowen, offered little resistance. Their solitary glimmer of hope came just before half-time when Mohammed Kudus unleashed a stunning overhead kick after a corner.

News of Arsenal’s equalizer against Everton did little to faze City. The second half saw Haaland and De Bruyne narrowly miss adding to the lead before Rodri slammed home a powerful third from distance, extinguishing any remaining doubt.

With this convincing victory, City secured their sixth Premier League title in seven seasons under Guardiola’s masterful leadership. The Gunners’ valiant efforts were ultimately in vain, as City cemented their place as Premier League champions for a historic fourth consecutive year.
