The Gunners' 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest means City are champions with three games to spare.
Etihad aces Jack Grealish, Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva leapt around together with delight as Forest held on to ensure staying up and guarantee Guardiola's men the crown.
And sensational summer Erling Haaland responded by posting: "Always give your best. Always believe. It pays off. C'MON CITY!"

This time it was so much calmer - as Arsenal underlining their slump from an eight-point title lead in January with a misfiring display at pumped-up Forest.

Skipper Ilkay Gundogan told : “To have helped the Club win a third straight Premier League title is something very special.
“The Premier League is without doubt the most demanding and competitive league in the world so that tells you everything about what an achievement this is.
“This squad is so talented and so special and to have been captain this season has been an enormous privilege.
“To have won this trophy three times in a row and five times in six years is incredible. It has been a season I will never forget.”
