Summary:

  • Arsenal’s 2-1 win against Everton wasn’t enough to secure their first Premier League title in 20 years, as Manchester City clinched the title with a 3-1 victory over West Ham. Despite Arsenal’s late surge, they finished as runners-up with 89 points, just behind City’s 91.

Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Everton proved in vain as their hopes of a first Premier League title for 20 years were crushed on the final day of the season on Sunday.

Mikel Arteta’s side began the day needing a win and for Manchester City to fail to beat West Ham United — a scenario that few inside The Emirates Stadium believed would happen.

All hope looked lost when Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free-kick put Everton in front and City led 2-0 but Takehiro Tomiyasu leveled before halftime at around the same time that West Ham halved the deficit at City.
