City Extend League Dominance with 12th Consecutive Win as They Celebrate Third Successive Premier League Victory

Julián Álvarez’s first-half strike was enough to secure Manchester City’s 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday, ensuring they wrapped up their 12th consecutive league win and clinched a third straight Premier League title. The match at the Etihad was symbolic not only of City’s league dominance but also of their incredible consistency under Pep Guardiola.

Álvarez’s goal in the 12th minute, following a precise pass from Jack Grealish, was the difference between the two sides. Chelsea, who had been struggling throughout the season, were unable to respond, and despite some second-half pressure, failed to breach City’s defense. The result sealed the title for City, confirming them as champions for the third consecutive season.

The game, though not spectacular in terms of its scoring, was a showcase of City’s tactical brilliance and control. Following the match, the team gathered to lift the Premier League trophy, further cementing their legacy as one of the greatest teams in English football history.

While City celebrated their achievement, the game also highlighted Chelsea’s ongoing struggles, as they remained distant from the level of the champions. Despite some individual flashes of quality, the team’s overall performance lacked the cohesion needed to compete at the highest level.

City’s season has been one of sustained excellence, and their 12th consecutive win marks a new milestone in their dominance. As for Chelsea, it is back to the drawing board as they seek to rebuild for the next campaign.
