Arsenal have ended a 22-year wait for Premier League glory after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night confirmed Mikel Arteta’s side as champions of England. The result left Arsenal four points clear with one game remaining, making the title mathematically unassailable. Their last top-flight crown came in 2004, when Thierry Henry’s Invincibles completed an unbeaten season.
Rice Delivers the Perfect Response
Midfielder Declan Rice wasted no time referencing one of the season’s most memorable moments. Following Arsenal’s 2-1 defeat to City at the Etihad last month, cameras caught him telling captain Martin Odegaard on the pitch: “it’s not done.” With the title now secured, the 27-year-old posted a celebratory selfie alongside Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Eberechi Eze, captioning it: “I told you all.. it’s done.”
Fans and Players Unite in Celebration
Thousands of Arsenal supporters flooded the streets outside the Emirates Stadium, with club legend Ian Wright joining the jubilant scenes. The squad had quietly gathered at their London Colney training base to watch City’s match, with footage of their eruption going viral after the final whistle. Defender Jurrien Timber also shared behind-the-scenes celebration content on Instagram, despite racing to be fit for the Champions League final.
Arsenal now travel to Budapest to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, chasing an historic double. They will collect the Premier League trophy following Sunday’s final-day fixture against Crystal Palace.
