Arsenal F.C. have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years following Manchester City F.C.’s 1-1 draw against AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
Manchester City needed a win to keep the title race alive heading into the final day of the season, but the draw confirmed Arsenal as champions with one match still remaining.
Eli Junior Kroupi handed Bournemouth the lead in the first half before Erling Haaland scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser in the 95th minute. However, the result was not enough to deny Arsenal the title.
The triumph ends Arsenal’s long wait for another league crown since the club’s famous “Invincibles” team under Arsène Wenger won the Premier League during the 2003/04 season without losing a match.
Under manager Mikel Arteta, Arsenal have amassed 82 points and can no longer be overtaken at the top of the table.
The North London club could still complete a historic season as they prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain F.C. in the UEFA Champions League Final in Budapest on May 30.
Victory in the final would hand Arsenal the first Champions League title in the club’s history and complete a memorable double-winning campaign.
The Gunners are expected to officially lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday.
