Nottingham Forest save the category and make City Premier champions

Nottingham Forest beat a downtrodden Arsenal (1-0) and dedicated their save as they made Manchester City champions, England’s ninth league finish in its history and fifth in the last six years.

Those from Nottingham pleased City, who had already practically buttoned up the Premier and who are already allowed to go to the game against Chelsea on Sunday as champions, but above all they confirmed their rescue, after a season in which they spent 18 days in relegation places and in which they started as one of the favorites to fall following their promotion from the Championship (English Second Division) and a questionable transfer policy that led to the withdrawal of over 20 players last summer.

A goal from Nigerian Taiwo Awoniyi, in a counter-attack, put the finishing touches to an Arsenal that had been leaders in the Premier League for more than 200 nights, but whose season was very long and found a perfect city to play their last ten games in the competition .

Mikel Arteta’s men leave with their heads held high, but with just two wins in their last eight games, a very poor figure for trying to compete against a city that opts to win the second treble in English football history.

At the City Ground this Saturday, Arteta punished Kieran Tierney and put up an unprecedented defence, with Kiwior on the left and Thomas Partey on the right. A defense that leaked 19 minutes into the game and through no fault of their own, but one Martin Odegaard who gave Morgan Gibbs-White a ball in midfield and made a very quick transition.

Gibbs-White drove to the edge of the area and handed it to Awoniyi, who, with luck and Gabriel’s help, scored his tenth goal of this Premier League, serving Steve Cooper’s men on a scale.

As the team’s owner, Evangelos Marinakis, fidgeted in his seat, Forest dispatched an Arsenal already playing heartlessly, aware that their season was already over and that a draw would only make their teams clinch the title for no reason. extend. rivals.

With only a few chances, the best for Bukayo Saka, in a right-foot pop shot, Arsenal bid farewell to a title that fell into their hands as they held an eight-point lead over City. 19 years on, Arsenal are still yearning for a new prime minister to refresh the winners’ list; the last conquest came from the hand of the ‘Invincibles’ in 2004.
