Manchester City clinch third straight Premier League title with Arsenal's loss at Nottingham Forest

City play Chelsea on Sunday but have already conquered the league
Thanks to their title rivals Arsenal losing to Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground on Saturday, Manchester City have clinched the Premier League title, their third in a row and fifth in the last six seasons. A goal from Taiwo Awoniyi in the 19th minute was enough for the Tricky Trees to secure their victory as they held on against Arsenal's pressure late. This result means City can start celebrating the triumph the day before they play Chelsea.
Led by Norwegian striker Erling Haaland's 36 Premier League goals and seven assists, City were able to win the league with 85 points from 35 matches. Now, City will get to collect their Premier League trophy Sunday in front of their home fans at the Etihad Stadium.
This isn't a title that was always guaranteed as Arsenal were in the pole position of the league for most of the season but a 14-match unbeaten streak after losing to Tottenham on Feb. 5 was enough to overturn their points deficit and win the league. This is dynasty-level stuff from City but while focus has been on Haaland, he's far from the only reason that this team has been so good in the Premier League.
