Mikel Arteta said he called Pep Guardiola to congratulate him on winning the title after Arsenal’s loss to Nottingham Forest handed the Premier League crown to Manchester City last weekend.
The 1-0 defeat meant City were able to lift the trophy at the Etihad in front of their fans on Sunday after a 1-0 win over Chelsea. Arsenal led the way for most of the season before several slip-ups in the run-in - as well as the 4-1 loss to City - allowed the Blues to make up the ground.
There was no wallowing from former City assistant Arteta, though, who contacted his close friend to praise him for his achievement.
