Arsenal have secured a first Premier League title in 22 years; Mikel Arteta’s side’s long wait for the title ended after Man City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth; it ends a run of three straight second-place finishes, with the trophy lift set to take place at Selhurst Park on Sunday
Arsenal were tonight crowned Premier League champions following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
City’s slip up means Arsenal are four points ahead with just one game to go – against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Junior Kroupi scored the goal that gave Bournemouth the lead against City in the 39th minute, bending home in sublime fashion to put Arsenal on the brink.
City were surprisingly blunt in response and, though Erling Haaland crashed home a stoppage-time equaliser, it was too little, too late for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Mikel Arteta’s side have led the table for much of the season and, although they were overtaken by City in mid-April after a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad that followed on from a home setback against Bournemouth, they have responded superbly with four successive wins and four clean sheets.
