LONDON — Arsenal finally won the 2025/26 Premier League championship on Tuesday night. Consequently, this great victory ends a long 22-year wait for the club.
Therefore, the tense title race is over with one game left. The Gunners took the crown because Manchester City drew 1-1 against Bournemouth.
City Slips at Bournemouth
Initially, Manchester City needed a win to stay alive. However, they struggled against a very tough Bournemouth team.
For instance, Bournemouth took the lead in the first half. Eli Junior Kroupi scored a brilliant goal. Afterward, Erling Haaland equalized late in injury time. Yet, it was simply too late to save City’s defense.
As a result, the draw leaves City four points behind. Because there is only one match left, they cannot catch the leaders.
The Return to Glory
Meanwhile, the Arsenal players watched the match together. Naturally, they celebrated wildly at the final whistle.
Just one day earlier, the Gunners beat Burnley 1-0 to reach 82 points. Indeed, that vital win put immense pressure on City. Ultimately, their rivals cracked under the strain.
Furthermore, this is a massive moment for Mikel Arteta. He is now the first former captain to win the league as manager. This victory is sweet because they finished second for three straight years.
A Historic Milestone
In total, this win gives Arsenal their fourteenth top-flight championship. Additionally, it is their fourth title in the modern era.
Looking ahead, the Gunners play Crystal Palace this Sunday. During this game, the players will finally lift the famous trophy.
Shortly after that, the new champions will chase another prize. Specifically, they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 30.
