Manchester City have emerged winners of the English Premier League for the fourth time in a row after beating West Ham on final day.
Second-placed Arsenal had hoped for results to go their way as they would have won the league instead if City had failed to win.
But despite the Gunners’ 2-1 victory over Everton at the Emirates Stadium, City’s 3-1 win over the Hammers sealed the triumph for them.
The Pep Guadiola side become the first team in the English topflight to win the title four seasons in a row.

At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea defeated Bournemouth 2-1 to secure an European spot – the Conference League. Elsewhere, Manchester United sealed a 2-0 victory over Brighton.
