Following Foden’s first effort for City, Everton fans were keen to point out to Arsenal’s home supporters that they were set to miss out on the title.

Things got worse for Arsenal just 15 minutes later as Foden doubled City’s lead with a well-taken finish.
Arteta’s men also fell behind after a deflected Idrissa Gueye free-kick beat David Raya from range.

Arsenal miss out on Premier League title
Despite a glimmer of hope for Arsenal at the end of the first half, Rodri’s effort on the hour mark restored City’s two-goal cushion.
Arteta’s side got the job done at the Emirates Stadium in the end thanks to a late Kai Havertz effort.
Arsenal will undoubtedly be disappointed after a gut-wrenching end to the season but there has been undeniable progress.
The Gunners have proven they can perform and pick up results when it truly matters, something they have lacked in previous years under Arteta.
Based on Arsenal’s current trajectory, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a Premier League title head to north London within the next couple of seasons.
