Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The City Ground
Manchester City were crowned Premier League champions after Arsenal lost 1-0 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.
The Gunners needed to win to delay City’s title celebrations ahead of their home match against Chelsea on Sunday.
City had overhauled Arsenal’s eight-point lead as Mikel Arteta’s side faltered, winning 11 Premier League games in a row including a 4-1 victory over their rivals at the end of April.
Pep Guardiola’s team are unbeaten in their last 23 games through all competitions, having also reached the finals of both the FA Cup and Champions League final.
Forest’s victory also secured their own Premier League status again next season.
City have won the Premier League for the third successive campaign and a fifth in the past six years.
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal
Forest are close to securing Premier League survival, with Awoniyi's first-half strike giving them the lead at the break. Odegaard was unusually loose with the ball and sent a pass straight into the feet of Gibbs-White. The former Wolves man drove forward with possession before sending a pass down the right towards Awoniyi with Gabriel's sliding challenge connecting with the ball before rebounding off the foot of the striker and past Ramsdale. Arsenal had six shots before the break but were unable to truly test Navas. Jesus headed an effort over before hitting a tame shot straight at the goalkeeper. Saka also found Trossard with two corners but he missed the target with volleys.
