Mikel Arteta has sent Manchester City a classy message after they beat Arsenal to the Premier League title.

The Gunners seemed in a pole position to secure the crown this term after an incredible title run under Arteta, only for them to bottle it with a few matches to go.

The north Londoners had topped the league standings for the better part of the season and even enjoyed a significant point gap over City at some point.

However, their Saturday, May 20, 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground meant they stood no chance of winning the crown.

Meanwhile, Man City, who are topping the standings with 85 points, are scheduled to face Chelsea in their next Premier League match on Sunday.

While the fixture is now less significant for City, Pep Guardiola's charges will be keen to secure a positive result to have a crowning moment for their title triumph.
