Nottingham Forest 1 Arsenal 0: Man City crowned champions as Gunners crumble and hosts go wild after avoiding relegation
ARSENAL handed Manchester City the Premier League title after a dismal 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest – who have now secured safety.
Taiwo Awoniyi’s 19th-minute strike clinched all three points for the hosts in front of a jubilant crowd at the City Ground.

And while Forest clinched their Premier League status for another season, Mikel Arteta’s men saw their slim hopes of the title evaporate.
Arsenal have now won just two of their last eight games – a run that has seen Man City streak away from them at the top of the table.
A 3-0 home defeat to Brighton last weekend effectively condemned the Gunners to a failed title push.
But the loss to Forest means Man City will be crowned champions at the Etihad on Sunday irrespective of their result against Chelsea.
