LONDON (AP) — Arsenal did its part by earning a comeback win over Everton on the last day of the season, and yet the 20-year wait for a Premier League title goes on. Kai Havertz scored in the 89th minute to give Arsenal a 2-1 victory on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough as Manchester City secured its fourth straight league title by beating West Ham 3-1 at home. At least the late goal made sure the season ended with a festive atmosphere on a day when any hopes of an unlikely title win quickly disappeared. Mikel Arteta’s team entered the day with a chance of earning the club’s first league title since the 2003-04 “Invincibles” side, but needed to both beat Everton and hope City would somehow drop points against West Ham. But a raucous Emirates Stadium was quickly quieted when City was 2-0 up within 18 minutes in Manchester and Idrissa Gueye’s deflected free kick gave Everton the lead in the 40th in north London. |
