Manchester City started the game very fast. Phil Foden in particular was on fire. His confidence was so high. The West Ham goalkeeper had a hard time with their hard shots. Thanks to his good performance, Manchester City had an easier last game. In previous seasons they have won the title in the last games and they had a very difficult time in those games. I immediately think of the championship they won in the 2021/2022 season. They beat Aston Villa 3-2 with 2 goals scored by Ilkay Gundogan, who came into the game later, and became champions in the last match of that season. They played a more comfortable championship game in this match and I think they owe it to Phil Foden.
They should be glad that they had a seamless difficulty in their last match which was suppose to determine the league champions. Phil Foden has been a target for Manchester City this season and I can remember when pep Guardiola was asked about him and he said he can’t sell him to any club, he saw his potentials and leveraged on it to make him a better player. Phil Foden will still remain a top target and feared players by defenders by next season after his spectacular performance this season. Every space he gets to shoot the ball will get into the goal net or will be very closed to scoring the goal.
West Ham equaliser of the first goal gave them some hope because throughout the game, Manchester City was the one dominating it and didn’t gave West Ham any much possession to bank on. Kudus goal cannot be overstated, it was really a great goal and just after that goal was scored I remembered his statement of saying he would stop Manchester City from winning the league. He tried though but it can’t be possible for him and all hope was lost after the third goal from Rodri. It was really a nice game and the winner was already seen even before the end of the match.
