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 levelled before halftime at around the same time that West Ham halved the deficit at City.

Kai Havertz fired home Arsenal’s winner late meaning they ended the season with six successive victories but they had to settle for the runners-up spot for the second successive season as City wrapped up a record fourth consecutive title by beating West Ham 3-1.

Arsenal ended with 89 points to City’s 91.

Arsenal vs Everton

Martinelli has gone down inside the Everton penalty area after a strong challenge from Tarkowski. The tough defender won the ball, but it looks as though he's injured the Brazilian forward, who is struggling at the moment. The medical team are on the pitch giving treatment, and there's going to be a delay.

The Gunners are enjoying a spell of possession now as Odegaard receives it outside the box, and he whips a dangerous delivery to the back post. Rice wins the initial header, but he fails to find a team-mate and Tarkowski is able to clear from danger.

Chance for the Toffees! Everton break down the left-hand side as Gueye picks out Calvert-Lewin inside the box. He works it onto his right and looks to catch Raya out with a quick shot, but he strikes the post! He follows up with another strike as he collects the rebound, but he slams it into the side netting!

Onana has now gone down for Everton off the ball and he's receiving treatment from the medical team. It's a chance for both teams to enjoy a water break, with the managers giving instructions to their respective players on the sideline. After a short delay, Onana is back on his feet and is going to continue.

Havertz is played in over the top and he looks to take on Tarkowski inside the penalty area, cutting in onto his left before striking towards goal, but Branthwaite is there to block the shot. Arsenal regain possession, and Doucoure makes a foul on Partey with the referee awarding a free-kick.

Havertz breaks down the left in space and he carries the ball towards the penalty area. He floats a delivery to the back post where Martinelli has arrived to try and head towards goal, but Young stays composed and nods it back to Pickford between the sticks.

Trossard finds Rice down the left-hand side and he plays the ball off Doucoure and it's a corner to Arsenal. Rice will deliver and he sends a cross towards the front post, but Branthwaite is fouled and it's an Everton free-kick. Man City have now doubled their lead with Foden scoring a brace.

Arsenal vs Everton

Gueye has gone down for Everton with an injury, and the medical team are on the pitch to give him treatment. He looks in some discomfort, and it will be interesting to see whether Dyche decides to make a change. The midfielder was fouled by Havertz just a few moments before.
