Man City v West Ham LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Phil Foden inspires victory

Manchester City 3-1 West Ham: City claim fourth successive league title after Foden brace and Rodri’s second-half strike

We will get credit for title if we win, don't know what people think of us - Guardiola

Manchester City won an unprecedented fourth straight English top-flight title with a 3-1 win over West Ham United on Sunday to pip rivals Arsenal on the final day of a thrilling Premier League season.

Two glorious early goals from league player of the season Phil Foden created a party atmosphere in the sunshine at the Etihad Stadium before a stunning bicycle kick from Mohammed Kudus before halftime brought West Ham briefly into the game.

But Rodri sealed the victory with a low 59th-minute shot from outside the area, giving Pep Guardiola’s side a phenomenal sixth title in seven years. Fans danced in their seats, belting out: “Champions again!” and “Are you watching Arsenal?”

In one of the closest title races in Premier League history, Arsenal could have taken the championship had City dropped points. But the Londoners’ 2-1 win in their game against Everton was in vain, leaving them two points behind.

HALF-TIME: Manchester City 2-1 West Ham

The half-time whistle goes and it’s a slightly tense atmosphere inside the Etihad.

It was all going so smoothly as Foden’s double put the hosts into a commanding 2-0 lead but Kudus’s late acrobatic finish has just made things a bit tetchy.

45+3 mins: West Ham, spurred on by that goal, push forward again towards the end of the half. Nothing comes of it but Moyes’s side are slowly growing into this game.

At the Emirates, Partey curls a long-range effort just over from the edge of the box.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 West Ham (Kudus, 43 mins)

Well, well, well...

You could hear a pin drop in the Etihad right now as, moments after Arsenal’s equaliser, West Ham pull a goal back in extraordinary fashion as Kudus scores a bicycle kick from the corner.

A superb strike from the Ghanian - perhaps goal of the season - and this title race is not over just yet.

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham

39 mins: A huge goal at the Emirates... but it’s for Everton as Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free-kick wrongfoots Raya and flies into the back of the net.

The news is starting to reach the fans in the Etihad who break out into more celebration. They are in total control.

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham

36 mins: City just taking their foot off the gas here in these last few minutes. West Ham aren’t offering a lot in terms of pressure on the ball so they can quite easily knock the ball about now they have a two-goal lead.

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham

31 mins: Haaland with another great chance but his effort is partially saved by Areola before the ball trickles wide of the post. He looked offside, though, so it likely would have been ruled out.

Meanwhile, there’s a huge chance for Everton at the Emirates as Calvert-Lewin smashes the outside of the post with a right-footed effort. It remains goalless there.

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham

27 mins: SAVE! De Bruyne with City’s latest effort but Areola, again, gets across superbly to tip the effort wide. Foden swings in the resulting corner but it’s headed wide by Gvardiol at the near post.

Manchester City 2-0 West Ham

24 mins: CLOSE! City are rampant and are looking to put this game out of sight by half-time (if it isn’t already).

Mavrapanos does superbly to deny Haaland from close range before Foden’s latest effort stings the palms of Areola.

Still goalless at the Emirates, meanwhile.
