The only real surprise about Manchester City's march to a fifth Premier League crown in six seasons is that a callow Arsenal side managed to keep Pep Guardiola's serial winners honest for such a long time.
Even until a few weeks ago the outcome of the title race looked, on paper at least, too close to call.
They have amassed 40 points from the last 42 on offer in the Premier League, scoring 39 goals and conceding 10 and registering 3-1 and 4-1 victories over Arsenal. "Manchester City are a team that have had the capacity to win by 10 points but they haven't done that this season because of what we have done," Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said of his side's brave attempt to stop City winning three titles in a row.
But spending big does not always equate to success on the field, as a glance at Chelsea this season proves. It still feels almost unfair that a team that won the 2021-22 title without even employing an out-and-out striker, then added Norwegian phenomenon Erling Haaland's unquenchable thirst for goals to the already rich mixture.
Guardiola takes great pride in improving his players and it is no surprise that Jack Grealish, who took a while to learn the City way, has now nudged ahead of England colleague Phil Foden -- a player who would waltz in to most other first teams.

City’s latest title owes as much to its end-of-season streak of 11 straight victories as it does to an implosion by Arsenal just when a first league title since was in sight.
