Arsenal's 0-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in round 37 of the Premier League helped Man City win the 2022-2023 tournament three matches early.
Accordingly, the empty-handed visit to Nottingham Forest left the Gunners 4 points behind Man City and with only 1 match left to play. At the same time, Nottingham Forest's first win over Arsenal in the Premier League since 1996 also helped the City Ground team gain 37 points and officially stay in the league successfully.
Thus, Man City officially won the championship 3 matches early and will be awarded the Premier League trophy after the match against Chelsea at Etihad Stadium tonight (May 21). Before the match, Chelsea may have to line up to welcome the new champion of the tournament.
After 35 matches in the Premier League this season, Man City won 27 matches, scored 92 goals and earned 85 points. They were second in the table and were on the verge of becoming former champions under Arsenal for most of the season. However, the final turning point in Man City's title race was the 4-1 win over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on April 26, thereby depriving their opponents of the right to decide the championship.
Winning the Premier League this season helps Man City become the fifth team in the history of the top level of English football to win the championship three times in a row, after Huddersfield (1924-1926), Arsenal (1933-1935), Liverpool (1982-1984) and MU (1999-2001, 2007-2009).
Man City have now completed the first goal in their journey to the “treble”. Ahead of coach Pep Guardiola and his team will be the FA Cup final against MU (June 3) and the Champions League final against Inter Milan (June 11).
On the other hand, Man City's individuals are also having a successful season: Haaland leads the race for the Golden Boot with a record 36 goals, while De Bruyne is also the best passer with 16 assists.
