Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta admits they need to "heal" after their title collapse was competed at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.

The loss confirmed Manchester City as Premier League champions for season 2022/23.

Arteta said "I am incapable of thinking about it right now. We have to congratulate City,.

"It has been an incredible journey for us over 10 months competing with City, being ahead of them for so long.

"We have learned huge lessons. We have transformed a lot at this club. We have made huge steps, but the icing on the cake is to win a championship and we fell short.

"This is football. It is a very sad day, we have been working for 11 months with that aim and have been on top for so many days," he told Sky Sports. "We have competed but we didn't have enough.

"Now we must heal. It is very painful. I have to find a way to lift the players and we have a tough week ahead of us."
