However, heartbreak struck for the Gunners for the second consecutive year when City clinched the title by defeating West Ham on the last day.

Arteta also pointed at City’s 2-0 win over Tottenham in the penultimate round of fixtures as another crucial moment.
“What happened last Tuesday, maybe we could have been champions,” Arteta said, “These are the margins that are so, so, so small.”
