The story of Arsenal’s season was delightful, but the last few paragraphs were cringeworthy. Despite playing well for most of the campaign, Mikel Arteta and his players had a terrible run-in and gave up the title that looked destined for the Emirates.MANCHESTER CITY WIN THE PREMIER LEAGUE 🏆 pic.twitter.com/Oreb7WDyeP— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 20, 2023 Nottingham Forest battled at their City Ground and beat Arsenal 1-0 to seal their Premier League survival and rob the Gunners’ fans of the last droplet of hope. Manchester City are champions again! The result leaves Manchester City with an insurmountable four-point lead at the top of the table over the Gunners, who have just one game remaining this season.Taiwo Awoniyi scored the only goal 19 minutes into the game and sealed Arsenal’s fate. Arteta’s team was already dead in terms of energy and confidence after that damning home defeat to Brighton last weekend. Tonight’s loss in Nottinghamshire was just the confirmation of the painful truth: the team is good, but it’s not good enough.Arsenal have lost three of their last five Premier League games, as many as they had in their first 32 this season. The sad slump in form put a stain on what’s been a season which exceeded all expectations. But Arsenal fans will forever wonder what happened to their team and how did they forget how to win games.248 – Arsenal led the Premier League table for 248 days in 2022-23, the most for a team who failed to win the title in English top-flight history.
