Manchester City have today won an unprecedented fourth Premier League title in a row after sweeping aside West Ham in a 3-1 win.
Match Report
In Manchester it was the blue half celebrating once again with newly crowned Player of the Season Phil Foden showcasing just why he should be the first name on the team sheet for England manager Gareth Southgate at the Euros this summer.
Foden fired Pep Guardiola's side ahead after just 79 seconds with a rocket into the top corner to send the City faithful into hysterics.
And it looked like being a comfortable afternoon when Foden struck again 18 minutes later with a sweeping strike to take his tally for the season to 19 goals and send the Etihad Stadium into title party mode.
However, Mohammed Kudus's spectacular overhead kick for West Ham two minutes before half time to ensure a nail-biting second half.
Any doubts were extinguished on the hour mark by Spanish midfielder Rodri whose 18 yard side-footed shot snuck under the the Hammers' despairing goalkeeper Areola.
Erling Haaland should have made it four in the 84th minute but he misjudged the flight of a corner as the ball hit his shoulder and skewed wide from six yards out.
