2017-18 Premier League Sunday April 29,2018

West Ham United Vs Manchester City
Manchester City beat West Ham United 4-1

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hailed the "incredible" numbers produced by his side as they reached 100 Premier League goals for the season with a 4-1 win at struggling West Ham

City's second goal took their tally to 100 goals in 35 games this season as they became the fastest team to the milestone since Everton achieved it in 32 games in the 1931-32 season

  • This is the fourth occasion a team has scored 100+ goals in a single Premier League season and City are the first side to do so twice.
  • City have won 30 Premier League games in 2017-18, equalling the English top-flight record for most league wins in a 38-game season (Chelsea 2016-17).
  • City are the first team since Arsenal in 2012-13 to have four different players score 10+ Premier League goals in a single season.
  • Jesus has been directly involved in 24 goals in 25 Premier League starts for Man City (18 goals, six assists).
  • Sane has scored 10 goals in a single top-flight season for the first time in his career.
  • West Ham have conceded 67 goals in the Premier League this term - the most they have shipped in a single season in the competition since 2010-11 (70), when they were relegated.


Manchester United Vs Arsenal
Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-1

Arsene Wenger's final trip to Manchester United as Arsenal manager ended in an agonising defeat after an injury-time winner from Marouane Fellaini.

The Belgium international flicked a header past Gunners goalkeeper David Ospina from an Ashley Young cross.

Just three minutes earlier he had headed against the post, with Marcus Rashford bundling home the rebound from an offside position.

United had opened the scoring on 16 minutes when a header from former Arsenal player Alexis Sanchez was knocked on to the post by Hector Bellerin and Paul Pogba stabbed home the rebound for his third goal in four league games.

The hosts lost striker Romelu Lukaku to injury early in the second half, and moments later Henrikh Mkhitaryan was left in plenty of space to weave and strike through the legs of Victor Lindelof

  • Other than at Emirates Stadium and Highbury, Wenger has lost more matches at Old Trafford as Arsenal manager than at any other ground.
  • United completed a Premier League double over the Gunners for the first time since the 2011-12 campaign.
  • Fellaini's goal was the first 90th-minute winner United have scored against Arsenal in the Premier League, and the first in this fixture since January 2007, when Thierry Henry scored one at the Emirates in the home side's 2-1 win.
  • United have won all 10 of the Premier League games in which Pogba has found the net.
