Nottingham Forest defeated Arsenal by 1-0 at the City Ground, securing their survival in the Premier League and simultaneously confirming Manchester City as the Champions of England for the third successive season.
A 19th-minute goal by Taiwo Awoniyi proved to be the decisive factor, triggering jubilant scenes among the home supporters as the final whistle blew.
Despite Arsenal’s dominance in possession, Mikel Arteta’s side failed to breach Forest’s determined defense, preventing City from clinching their fifth title in six years.
Pep Guardiola and his team mattered little to Forest and their exuberant supporters. As the seconds ticked away during seven minutes of injury time, seemingly lasting an eternity, Forest manager Steve Cooper anxiously paced his technical area.
However, his worries were soon replaced by sheer elation as the final whistle confirmed their survival.
Champions, Manchester City can now lift the League title as the Etihad Stadium tomorrow when they host 12th-placed Chelsea.
