MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester Metropolis gained a file fourth straight Premier League title on Sunday by beating West Ham 3-1 within the ultimate recreation of the season.

Metropolis is the primary workforce to be topped champion of English soccer’s prime division 4 years in a row after holding off the problem of second-place Arsenal, which beat Everton 2-1.

Two targets from Phil Foden within the first half set Pep Guardiola’s workforce on target for its newest title. Mohammed Kudus pulled a purpose again for West Ham with a surprising overhead kick, however Rodri restored Metropolis’s benefit because it marched towards a sixth title in seven seasons.

Guardiola’s workforce wanted to beat West Ham at Etihad Stadium to make sure of the title, having gone into the sport two factors clear on the prime of the standings.

Foden helped ease any potential nerves among the home fans when firing City ahead with a brilliant goal inside two minutes.

Receiving a pass from Bernardo Silva, Foden side-stepped West Ham midfielder James Ward-Prowse and unleashed a left-foot shot outside the area that rocketed into the top corner. The goal was timed at just under 80 seconds.

Foden, England’s footballer of the year, added a second in the 18th minute when converting Jeremy Doku’s cross from close range.
