Arsenal ran them close, but in the end had to settle for second place in the Premier League this season. Manchester City were crowned champions, without even kicking a ball, after the Gunners were beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday evening.
City put the icing on the cake when their much-changed side saw off Chelsea 1-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon, before lifting the Premier League trophy in front of their fans.
Arsenal were top of the table for much of the campaign, but faltered at the last, letting slip an eight-point lead with three defeats and three draws in their last eight matches to hand City the advantage.
