In the early hours of 21 May, the 37th round of the Premier League continued with Arsenal travelling away to face promoted Nottingham Forest. Odegaard made a low-level mistake in the first half, Awonii countered and scored, and in the second half, the two teams failed to achieve each other, and Arsenal lost 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, suffering two consecutive defeats. Arsenal are still four points behind Manchester City in two games, and the Blue Moon Army won the title early.
After losing 3-0 at the feet of Brighton in the last round, Arsenal have been pushed to the edge of the cliff and if they fail to win this round, Manchester City will be many titles ahead of time. In the fight for the title, Arteta followed his usual 433 formation, with Jesus and Saka leading the way and Trosard starting in place of the injured Martinelli. Thomas, Odegaard and Jorginho are in midfield.
In the first leg, Arsenal won 5-0. Under heavy pressure, Arsenal made a series of mistakes and was desperate for three points to secure relegation at Nottingham Forest.
In the 19th minute, Arsenal made a low-level mistake when captain Ode's nonchalant pass from the field was easily cut off by Gibbs White. The latter drove straight into the counter-attack and sent a direct pass from the edge of the box, and Awoniyi single-handedly pushed to give it a 1-0 lead.
In the 27th minute, Odegaard's corner cross was met by Trossard. With no one watching, he volleyed and missed. These clips are enough to prove how much psychological baggage the Arsenal players have, and the players began to blame each other on the field.
In the 35th minute, Gibbs-White sent another direct pass from the scalpel, Awoniyi went to the meeting alone, and Ramsdale came out in time to defuse. In the first half, Arsenal had an exaggerated 81% possession and also completed 6 shots, but the score was 0-1!
Returning from the second half, Arteta chose to stand still, but Arsenal's pass made it difficult to penetrate the Nottingham Forest bus. In the 48th minute, there was chaos in front of Arsenal's goal, Felipe snatched a shot from close range, changed the line and went straight to the dead corner, Ramsdale saved the ball in front of the goal line.
It rained overnight, and the referee was on the opposite side of Arsenal. In the 54th minute, Ben White sent a direct pass into the box, Jesus was dragged to the ground, and instead of awarding a penalty, the referee signaled the Gunners No. 9 to fake the fall and showed a yellow card.
In the 67th minute, Ben White mixed garlic at his feet, made a mistake in possession at the back, Gibbs White laughed and volleyed right-footed into the side-netting and Arsenal escaped.
Slow to equalize, Arsenal crowds will be in a hurry. In the 78th minute, Gabriel was shown a yellow card for a foul and then went on with Gibbs White. Fortunately, Jorginho stepped forward in time to persuade him to avoid his teammates becoming red.
For the rest of the day, Arsenal were unable to recover, losing 1-0 to Nottingham Forest, swallowing an embarrassing two-game Premier League losing streak. As a result, Arsenal are still four points behind in two games, which means that Manchester City won the Premier League title early and became another team after Manchester United to achieve a third consecutive Premier League title. Some fans ridiculed Arsenal for really sending Buddha to the west, and really did their best for Manchester City players to prepare for the Champions League and FA Cup finals with a relaxed mind.
