Manchester City was crowned as the English Premier League champions on Saturday as the title rivals Arsenal lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest.

A second consecutive defeat for the Gunners left Mikel Arteta's men still four points adrift of City with one game remaining.

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.
