The Citizens will celebrate their new conquest this Sunday when they receive Chelsea starting at 12. The din in the privacy of the squad after learning of the Gunners’ fall.
Manchester City became champion of the English Premier League for the third time in a row, in the absence of a date, after the defeat of his escort Arsenal by 1-0 against Nottingham Forest.
City’s impeccable path to reach Arsenal
With an impeccable second half, with just two defeats and a draw in 16 league games played in 2023, the “Citizens” were closing the gap with Arsenal who was the undisputed leader of the tournament but who, little by little, began to leave points along the way.
From January onwards, the London team they reaped five draws, with lesser rivals such as Southampton, and five defeats, including the home and visitor losses against Manchester City that meant the loss of six essential points to make the jump to the title.
The checkmate to the “Gunners” illusions of championing after 19 years was given, this Saturday, the Nottingham Forest who needed to win against his people in the Forest to ensure their permanence in the elite of English football.
Those led by the Welshman Steve Cooper played this date 37 knowing everything that was at stake against a London team that, despite the fact that with a victory they could keep alive the hope of their fourteenth league, they did not live up to it. The Nigerian Taiwo Awoniyi, at 19 in the first half, scored the only goal with which the “Reds” escaped relegation and with which Arsenal lost the league.
