Arsenal raise the white flag, Man City win Premier League

Fans have called Arsenal “the elephants” this season for good reason. The term refers to an elephant that is inexplicably at the top of a tree, but who knows when it will fall off.

The Gunners really shot themselves in the foot in a series of crucial matches, only to lose to Man City in the direct confrontation. What had to happen happened, when they lost their spirit and lost their breath, the opportunity immediately passed too quickly. Before the match against Nottingham, Coach Arteta said that his students would fight to the end to keep the hope of winning the championship after nearly 2 decades. But everything was too late!

In the 19th minute, the audience at City Ground witnessed a goal from the home team. After Odegaard's disastrous pass, Morgan Gibbs-White assisted Taiwo Awoniyi to score. When the opponent pressed him in a one-on-one situation, goalkeeper Ramsdale had no chance to block the goal.

In the remaining minutes, no one was surprised when Arsenal dominated the game with 82% possession and countless shots from all positions. But the goal still did not come, as the visitors showed haste and lacked composure in decisive situations in front of the goal. On the other side of the front line, Nottingham played proactively with buses covering the final third of the field. As the match progressed, the North London team became more and more stuck and could not reverse the situation.

With this result, Arsenal still has only 81 points after 37 matches, 4 points behind Man City and only 1 match left to play. This means that the remaining 3 matches of Pep Guardiola's team with Chelsea, Brighton and Brentford are just formalities. With 3 points won last night, Nottingham has also officially stayed in the league when leaving the red light teams with a safe score.

For the third time in a row, and the fifth time in the last six seasons, Man City have dominated the land of fog. A completely deserved result after what they have shown not only in this season. A true empire in England, beyond dispute.

Also in this round, Liverpool have gradually moved away from the top 4 after a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. Roberto Firmino's late equalizer brought the "Liverbirds" 1 point, but they are 3 points behind Man Utd in the top 4 and have only 1 match left to play. Jurgen Klopp and his team will probably have to accept leaving the Champions League to start a new cycle. Tears were shed at Anfield when a series of players said goodbye to Merseyside to find new destinations. But what they left behind, the magical moments, the explosive emotions at Anfield will never fade in the minds of The Kop fans.
