Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest to seal City title

With the result, Arsenal parked at 81 points and kept the distance of four for City, one game to the end of the English competition. The team led by coach Pep Guardiola still enters the field this Sunday, in the sequence of the 37th round, and can no longer be reached.

If on the one hand there was frustration, on the other, Nottingham celebrated their stay in the English top flight. The team reached 37 points and opened four points ahead of Everton, the first team out of the relegation zone.

The game

The first half was attack against defence, and Nottingham Forest got the upper hand to take the lead into half-time. Despite holding up very well in the face of pressure from Arsenal, the home team managed to open the scoring in the 19th minute of the game, with a goal by Taiwo Awoniyi.

After Nottingham’s counterattack, Gibbs-White took advantage of Odegaard’s wrong pass and advanced at speed on the right to trigger the attacker, who finished inside the area on the way out of goalkeeper Ramsdale: 1 to 0.

With the advantage on the scoreboard, Nottingham had all the support of their fans to remain well posted in defense. In a good arrival from Arsenal, in the 23rd minute, Partey played for Jorginho, who sent it over the goal.

The home team responded in the 26th minute. On the move, Renan Lodi accelerated on the left and crossed, sending very close to Ramsdale’s goal. The Gunners looked delivered and little threatened goalkeeper Keylor Navas.
