A 3-0 home defeat means Manchester City could be crowned as Premier League champions this weekend.

Despite Arsenal having topped the table for most of the season, City can win a fifth title in six seasons with victory against Chelsea on Sunday.

The Gunners could even hand City the title without having to play, with a defeat at Nottingham Forest a day earlier.

Taking to Twitter following the defeat, Morgan fumed that the Gunners had “choked” after leading the way for the majority of the campaign.

He blasted: “All over.

An ill-tempered encounter saw Gabriel Martinelli flatten Kaoru Mitoma in the early stages but escape without a booking.

Moises Caicedo then wiped out Martinelli just minutes later, before proceeding to slap hands with Mitoma.

Again, referee Andy Madley did not show a yellow card.

Martinelli was injured by the tackle and forced to come off, and later reappeared with his left foot in a protective boot.
