With a lightning goal and a great performance from Phil Foden, Manchester City beat West Ham and confirmed another title in the ‘Guardiola Era’
O Manchester City This Sunday, the 19th, became Premier League champion for the eighth time in its history, the fourth in a row, which had never happened in the history of national football. With a goal Rodri and two of Phil Fodenthe sharks demonstrated their strength to beat the West Hamstill seeing Kudus discount on the scoreboard.
Without giving time to breathe, with just over a minute Foden appeared at the edge of the area, cut to the left and sent a bomb to fill Areola’s net, putting his team at an advantage. Following the high pressure and looking to increase his score, the number 47 received a pass from Doku in the middle of the area and just moved the goalkeeper to score his second.

Despite this, it didn’t take long for the team to reduce the intense pace set in the first minutes, and saw West Ham grow in production. Although Ortega was not forced to make relevant saves, the Londoners arrived more often and saw Kudus take advantage of a corner ball to turn a bicycle near the small area and reduce it.
Without seeing the need to force too much, City preferred to maintain possession of the ball at the beginning of the second half, while the Hammers tried to apply pressure, dreaming of a draw. Even so, it didn’t work and the punishment ended up being reversed, as De Bruyne made a good move on the right and passed it to Bernardo Silva, who found Rodri entering the area to increase.
In this way, the game slowed down even more and the teams were in danger when they found themselves with a lot of space in the attacking field, and it is clear that City dominated the confrontation until the final whistle. The result guarantees Manchester City’s fourth consecutive Premier League title, as had never happened before.
