Arsenal have captured their first Premier League title in 22 years after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth mathematically sealed the championship for Mikel Arteta’s side.
Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions, ending a grueling 22-year title drought after closest rivals Manchester City stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday evening.
According to the Daily Star, the historic triumph cements a legendary status for Mikel Arteta’s squad. “The Gunners have waited over two long decades to be crowned as champions of England. It was Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles in 2004 that last tasted glory, but, in 2026, Mikel Arteta’s side have made themselves immortal,” the report highlights.
Arsenal put themselves on the brink of glory on Monday with a tense 1-0 victory over Burnley. The definitive moment of the title race came a night later at the Vitality Stadium when Eli Junior Kroupi scored against City. “Only Newcastle had recovered fewer points from losing positions this season, and City once again looked short of answers,” the report noted. Despite Erling Haaland’s efforts, City could not find a winner, sparking celebrations across North London.
The triumph caps a turbulent season where Arsenal overcame April setbacks and taunts of “bottling” the league. The Gunners will officially lift the trophy this Sunday during their final match at Selhurst Park.
