Details
- Arsenal were confirmed as Premier League champions after Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth, leaving Arteta’s side uncatchable with one match remaining.
- Bournemouth took the lead through Eli Junior Kroupi before Erling Haaland scored a late equaliser, but the 1-1 draw ended City’s title challenge.
- The title is Arsenal’s first league triumph since Arsène Wenger’s Invincibles season in 2004 and ends the club’s longest wait for a league crown since 1931.
- Arteta completed Arsenal’s rise after three straight runner-up finishes and became the second-youngest manager to win the Premier League after José Mourinho.
- Arsenal’s consistency was decisive. They spent 238 days at the top of the Premier League table and stayed ahead after City narrowed the gap late in the season.
- Their title run was built on one of the league’s strongest defences, with 19 clean sheets, while set pieces became a major weapon across the season.
- Arsenal players and staff watched City’s match together at the training ground before celebrating after the final whistle. Thousands of fans also gathered around the Emirates Stadium.
- Guardiola congratulated Arsenal after the match, saying Arteta, the players and fans deserved the title. His own future at Manchester City remains uncertain, with talks expected after the season ends.
What Else
Arsenal will receive the Premier League trophy after their final game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The focus now shifts to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30, where Arsenal can complete a historic league and European double.
