What Mikel Arteta did after Arsenal defeat handed Premier League title to Man City

Mikel Arteta apologised after Arsenal suffered defeat against Nottingham Forest - a result which handed the Premier League title to Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's side celebrated the full-time whistle at the City Ground as they watched the Gunners lose 1-0 on Saturday afternoon.

City head into their Premier League clash against Chelsea this afternoon after being crowned champions for a fifth time in six years - winning the title for a third consecutive season. Only Liverpool have been able to beat Guardiola's side to the title in recent years with the Manchester outfit now looking to complete a historic treble with an FA Cup final and Champions League final still to come.

Arsenal held an eight-point lead at the top of the table heading into the season run-in, but dropped points against Liverpool, West Ham and Southampton before a defeat to City gave Guardiola's side the advantage. The Gunners will now finish second in the table this term but there remains plenty of positives for Arteta and his players to take into next season.
