Arsenal missed out on a first Premier League title since 2004 despite beating Everton thanks to a late Kai Havertz goal as Manchester City took the glory.
Arsenal missed out on a first Premier League title since 2004 despite beating Everton as Manchester City took the glory.
Phil Foden's early double for City at Etihad Stadium effectively ended the lingering hopes Arsenal had of a first title in 20 years. Havertz and Emile Smith Rowe both struck the woodwork in the second half, as belief visibly drained at the end of a long, losing battle for silverware.After Havertz tucked the ball in from close range, the video assistant referee recommended that the goal should be disallowed for a Gabriel Jesus handball in the build-up.At kick-off, it was unlikely Arsenal would deny City a record fourth successive Premier League title, but the faint hope remained.
One small upside was the return of Jurrien Timber from a serious knee injury, coming on in the second half for his first appearance since the opening day.Although they secured their Premier League safety well in advance of the final day - despite points deductions - Everton did not go on holiday early.
Everton lost the reverse fixture against Arsenal 1-0, but haven’t been beaten in both Premier League meetings with the Gunners in a campaign since 2017-18. Everton are winless in their last 10 Premier League away games , failing to score more than once in any of these. It’s their longest run without an away win under the same manager since a run of 12 under Ronald Koeman between February and October 2017.
