'Arsenal crumble!': Social media RIPS into the Gunners after defeat against Nottingham Forest handed Man City the Premier League title... as fans point out the 'eight point lead' Mikel Arteta's side once had

Arsenal have been labelled as 'bottlejobs' by social media users, after their defeat at Nottingham Forest handed Manchester City the 2022-23 Premier League title.

The Gunners had long been in the title race with Pep Guardiola's side and had looked to be in a strong position to claim the top-flight trophy just a few weeks ago.

Mikel Arteta's side held an eight point lead in March but, after a string of poor results in recent weeks, they were overtaken by eventual winners City.

The title race came to a conclusion on Saturday night when the Gunners suffered a 1-0 defeat to Forest, meaning that - mathematically - they can't catch City.
