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.

GOAL! Manchester City 2-0 West Ham (Foden, 18 mins)

City have a second and could that be the title race done and dusted?

Doku has made a bright start to this game and finds Foden with a pinpoint cutback from the left wing. The Englishman makes no mistake, sweeping home past Areola to put his side in total control.

Manchester City 1-0 West Ham

17 mins: CLOSE! De Bruyne finds Rodri’s surging run into the area but the Spaniard’s toe-poked effort can only brush the side-netting. A good chance for Rodri who perhaps had more time over the finish than he thought.

Manchester City 1-0 West Ham

14 mins: West Ham launch their first attack of the game as Emerson bursts through the middle of the pitch. In the end, though, Coufal’s cross is hacked away by Walker and the home fans can breathe a sigh of relief.

At the Emirates, the hosts are in full control but a great stop from Pickford denies the Gunners’ latest effort from Martinelli.

Manchester City 1-0 West Ham

10 mins: Gvardiol wins a free-kick on the left edge of the penalty area which is whipped in from De Bruyne but punched well clear by Areola.

At the Emirates, Rice has a good chance as the ball falls to him on the edge of the box, but Pickford gets down well to make a smart save.

Manchester City 1-0 West Ham

6 mins: It’s all City so far. They’ll want to grab a second as soon as possible to try and put this beyond doubt.

At the Emirates, Tomiyasu went close with a header but news of the goal has reached Arsenal fans as well as a delighted set of Everton fans in the away stand.

GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 West Ham (Foden, 2 mins)

The perfect start for Man City!

Foden was voted the league’s player of the season and it’s easy to see why. A delightful turn as he receives the ball from Silva before smashing a left-footed effort past Areola and into the far corner.

Advantage City.
