'Cutting edge was missing' - National media react to Arsenal defeat as Man City defend title

Manchester City confirmed their status as Premier League champions for a third successive season following Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Taiwo Awoniyi broke the deadlock inside the opening half an hour to give the home side the lead and the Gunners struggled to muster clear opportunities to equalise.

Mikel Arteta's side put up a good fight this season, and even established an eight-point lead over the reigning champions. But, just as the north Londoners hit a road bump, City opened their stride and bulldozed towards another English top-flight title.

With just one game left in the calendar for Arsenal, their season is largely redundant now. So, with that being said, football.london has taken a look at how the national media reacted to the Gunners' defeat which sealed their fate as runners-up.
