Manchester City Make History with Third Consecutive Premier League

Man­ches­ter City Make His­to­ry with Third Con­sec­u­tive Pre­mier League Crown in Stun­ning Fashion

Man­ches­ter City secured a his­toric achieve­ment by win­ning their third suc­ces­sive Pre­mier League tro­phy in sen­sa­tion­al fash­ion on Sat­ur­day. Pep Guardi­o­la’s side were chal­lenged to the lim­it this sea­son by rivals Arse­nal, but pre­vailed after a shock­ing result saw the Gun­ners lose to Not­ting­ham Forest.

The title looked set to be decid­ed on the final day, with City due to face Chelsea on Sun­day. How­ev­er, For­est pulled off a stun­ning upset by beat­ing Arse­nal at the City Ground. Tai­wo Awoniyi scored the cru­cial goal in the 19th minute to give For­est the vic­to­ry and con­sign Arse­nal to sec­ond place.

City have now matched Man­ches­ter Unit­ed as the only teams to win three con­sec­u­tive Pre­mier League tro­phies. They also equalled Unit­ed’s 1999 tre­ble-win­ning cam­paign, and can emu­late that feat if they lift the FA Cup and Cham­pi­ons League in the com­ing weeks.

At one stage this sea­son, Arse­nal led City by eight points in the table. But Guardi­o­la’s tac­ti­cal genius and the club’s cham­pi­onship pedi­gree shone through, as they won each clash with the Gun­ners and dropped just two points over their final 14 games. Their only slip-ups came in a draw at none oth­er than Not­ting­ham For­est, the same team that clinched their lat­est trophy.

Guardi­o­la will now turn his atten­tion to City’s FA Cup and Cham­pi­ons League finals, hop­ing to make his­to­ry and cement this team’s sta­tus as one of the great­est Eng­lish sides ever assem­bled. After a sen­sa­tion­al end to the Pre­mier League sea­son, more glo­ry could still await the cham­pi­ons of Manchester.
