Arsenal claims historic English Premier League title after Manchester City draw
Following three consecutive runner-up finishes, the Gunners secure their first top-flight English title in 22 years, ending Manchester City’s dominance.
For over two decades, Arsenal supporters endured heartbreak as their side fell agonisingly short in the Premier League title race. That wait finally ended on Tuesday 19 May, when Manchester City’s failure to win at Bournemouth (1-1) mathematically secured the Gunners’ first top-flight English championship since 2004.
With a four-point lead heading into the final matchday, Mikel Arteta’s resilient outfit could no longer be caught. Their victory marks a 14th league title, capping a gruelling campaign where they had finished as runners-up three times in the last four seasons, twice behind Manchester City in 2023 and 2024.
The Londoners concluded their campaign in emphatic style, showcasing an unyielding defence that stifled even the most potent attacking threats. With the trophy cabinet now expanded, Arsenal turn their full attention to the Champions League final on 30 May, where they face Paris Saint-Germain in a showdown for European supremacy.
