Manchester City are the Premier League champions for the third season in succession after Arsenal’s title bid finally died at the City Ground.
Pep Guardiola remains in pursuit of the Treble after securing the league title without even playing, with Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 victory also guaranteeing the Midlands club a place in the top division next season.
City are now an unassailable four points ahead of Arsenal and Guardiola’s players will be given a guard of honour before their game against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
It is the club’s fifth title in six seasons and extends Guardiola’s remarkable grip on silverware in English football, just seven weeks after his team were eight points behind Arsenal with just a quarter of the season left to play.
