Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time since the famous “Invincibles” era under Arsène Wenger in 2004 following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth.
Newsonspot reports that the historic triumph marks a major milestone for manager Mikel Arteta, who has transformed the North London club into title winners since taking charge in December 2019 after replacing Unai Emery.
After finishing runners-up in the previous three seasons, Arsenal looked determined to finally end their long wait for the title. Although Manchester City mounted a serious challenge and erased a nine-point gap after defeating Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in April, Arteta’s men held their nerve in the closing stages of the campaign.
The title race eventually turned into a tense battle between both sides, but City dropped crucial points in their draw against Everton, while Arsenal responded with four straight victories without conceding a goal. Their narrow 1-0 win over Burnley on Monday proved decisive in keeping them ahead.
Arsenal supporters gathered around the Emirates Stadium to watch City’s clash against Bournemouth, hoping for a favorable result. Celebrations erupted at the final whistle as thousands of fans flooded the streets after confirming their club’s long-awaited success.
The Gunners are expected to officially lift the Premier League trophy after their final game of the season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Arteta could also cap off a remarkable campaign by leading Arsenal to European glory when they face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final on May 30. Should Arsenal win, they would become one of the few English clubs to secure both the league title and the European Cup in the same season.
