Following their 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, Manchester City raised the Premier League trophy.
The victory over Arsenal by Nottingham Forest on Saturday night made City the champions for the third straight year. They win their seventh Premier League championship and total ninth top-flight crown.
After a brief pitch invasion, the City players were welcomed back onto the field and applauded onto the platform one by one before Ilkay Gundogan raised the trophy to the delight of the enthusiastic Etihad crowd.
The celebrations were a little more subdued than they were when City defeated Aston Villa on the last day of the season to win the league. Pep Guardiola will have his hands full with the upcoming Champions League and FA Cup finals.
A winning streak that lasted from February to May allowed the Citizens, who had been trailing Arsenal for much of the season, to make up ground. Ms. C. P. L.'s image can be found at pic.twitter.com/1n1CsyNnyp.

The game's lone goal was scored by Julian Alvarez as a much-changed City team took an early lead against a struggling Chelsea team. City had just thrashed Real Madrid in Europe midweek.
After Arsenal's loss, Guardiola made several changes to his starting lineup, giving Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips, Rico Lewis, Sergio Gomez, and Cole Palmer among others the chance to play in goal.
Raheem Sterling returned to the Etihad and witnessed his former colleagues' celebrations after having performed well.
