Arsenal are crowned Premier League champions as Man City draw at Bournemouth | Football News

Arsenal’s 22-year wait to win the Premier League ended as Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth.

Arsenal have been confirmed as Premier League champions for the first time since 2004 as Manchester City failed to win at Bournemouth.

City should have won their last two games, and I hope Arsenal failed to win their last game, but it happened score 1-1 the second.

The result ended Pep Guardiola’s mid-season drought as the draw left Arsenal four points clear at the top, ending their 22-year wait.

Arsenal fans celebrated wildly outside the Emirates Stadium when news of the line-up arrived.

City threatened another upset when Erling Haaland scored in stoppage time to equalize Junior Kroupi’s first-half strike, but it was too late to find the winner.

Mikel Arteta’s players can now stand alongside club icons Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Ian Wright, who previously led the club to English football’s top flight. And Arsenal’s current class could have won the Champions League for the first time in their history at the end of this month.

This month’s final against defending champions Paris Saint-Germain can be put on the backburner, for now.

It is a time of celebration and relief for Arteta after finishing last in the league three years running.

In successive seasons in 2023 and 24, he saw Guardiola’s City chase Arsenal’s lead to the title. And another chance was missed last year when he came back to Liverpool.

Once again, Arsenal have dominated most of the way this campaign, and despite seeing their chances dwindle during the chase, they managed to get over the line after years of waiting.

Arsenal’s last champions were the 2004 “Invincibles”, who went an entire campaign unbeaten in the league.
