That’s all folks! The 2023-24 Premier League season has danced its way to completion, leaving the seemingly inevitable Manchester City as title winners. With the comfortable 3-1 victory over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon (May 19), Man City became the first-ever English team to win four consecutive Premier League titles. Arsenal, who pushed them right until the very end, beat Everton 2-1 on Matchday 38, but it was not enough to end their 20-year wait for the title. Mikel Arteta’s side finished second in the rankings, only two points behind Pep Guardiola’s champions.
Liverpool were not in the title hunt, but they were equally desperate to win on the final Matchday. It was Jurgen Klopp‘s farewell match as Liverpool manager, and the boys on the pitch were not going to let him down on his special day. They put on a professional show, claiming a 2-0 win over 10-man Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield Stadium.
Player of the Season Phil Foden Seals Premier League Title For Man City
Every fan inside the Etihad Stadium expected Man City to get a win on Sunday afternoon. However, even the most hopeful fan could not have scripted such a dream opening. This year’s Premier League Player of the Season, Phil Foden fired City close to their fourth successive title inside the first two minutes. That too in the most eye-catching fashion.
Thanks to Konstantinos Mavropanos’ sloppiness, Erling Haaland stole possession from the visitors and played it to Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian looked up and found Bernardo Silva, who played a simple square pass to Foden. On possession just outside the area, Foden took a touch before dispatching a stunner with his left foot. The ball swerved outward before nestling into the top-left corner. Foden added another in the 18th minute, evading three defenders to meet Jeremy Doku’s pass from the left and steer it beyond Alphonse Areola with an impeccable first-time finish.
West Ham United pulled one back in the 42nd minute…
