Manchester City have won the Premier League title for the third season in a row after Arsenal were defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

It is the fifth time in the past six seasons that City have secured top spot under Pep Guardiola and is the first trophy of a potential treble, with Manchester United to come in the FA Cup final and a Champions League final against Internazionale to come next month. “To have helped the club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special,” said the City captain Ilkay Gündogan. “The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.

This squad is so talented and so special and to have been captain this season has been an enormous privilege. “To have won this trophy three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible.

That quality and consistency helps sum up what Manchester City stand for and ensures the club will continue to strive for success going forward.
