The final three games came thick and fast. Norwich at home on March 17th, a 4-0 thrashing. Connor scored a hat-trick, taking him to the top of the goalscoring charts. The System showed his form as 'Superb', his goal expectancy at 1.2 per game. Southampton at home on March 24th was a professional 2-0 win that secured our top-four finish. The primary objective was achieved. We were in Group 1.
And then, March 31st, the final day. Arsenal away. We couldn't win the league, but we could have a say in who did. The game was tense, tactical, and enthralling. We took the lead through Eze a brilliant solo goal, his 30th goal contribution of the season. Arsenal equalized late. 1-1. The title was theirs.
As I stood on the touchline, watching Arsenal lift the trophy, I didn't feel disappointment. I felt pride. We'd finished third, one point behind Chelsea, two behind Arsenal. Connor had won the Golden Boot with 21 goals.
