Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth on Tuesday evening.
The Gunners sealed the title on the back of an impressive campaign built around the league’s best defence, conceding just 26 goals and keeping 19 clean sheets. Arsenal also proved dangerous from set pieces, scoring a league-high 24 goals, including 18 from corners.
Midfielder Declan Rice emerged as one of Arsenal’s standout performers, while goalkeeper David Raya enjoyed a career-best season. Summer signing Viktor Gyökeres added 14 league goals to strengthen the club’s attack.
It is Arsenal’s 14th English league title and their first since the famous “Invincibles” campaign of 2003-04. Manager Mikel Arteta also becomes the first former Premier League player to win the title as a manager.
Arsenal could still cap off the season with a historic double as they prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final on May 30.
