Arsenal have reclaimed the Premier League crown for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by AFC Bournemouth, confirming Mikel Arteta’s side as champions with one match still to play.
Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Burnley on Tuesday had left City needing a win to keep the title race alive, but Bournemouth stunned the reigning champions through a first-half strike from Eli Junior Kroupi before Erling Haaland grabbed a late equaliser that ultimately arrived too late.
After three consecutive runner-up finishes, Arsenal secured their 14th English league title — trailing only Manchester United and Liverpool in the all-time standings — with Arteta’s close friend Andoni Iraola helping deliver the decisive blow.
The triumph caps a remarkable campaign for the north London club, who also booked a place in the Champions League final following a gritty semi-final win over Atlético Madrid.
