Arsenal have finally won the Premier League title after Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth.
The Gunners needed Andoni Iraola's side to get a positive result against City on Tuesday to secure their first top-flight title in 22 years, and the Cherries obliged following a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium.
It means Mikel Arteta's men have sealed the title with one game to spare, and will lift the trophy after their final game of the season at Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Arsenal's bid to win the Premier League has been building for a number of years, with the Gunners finishing second in each of the past three seasons. They fell short against City in 2022/23 and 2023/24 before finishing the campaign behind eventual winners Liverpool in 2024/25.

But Arteta's team have done it this time around, clinching the title after winning 25 and drawing seven of their 37 league matches so far. While the Gunners have scored the second-most goals in the division (69), it's their impeccable defensive record that has made the crucial difference.
Indeed, Arsenal have conceded just 26 goals and kept a stunning 19 clean sheets in the top flight this season. Gunners goalkeeper David Raya has already sealed the Golden Glove and is in with a shout of the Player of the Season prize, alongside team-mates Declan Rice and Gabriel Magalhaes.
A gritty 1-0 win over already-relegated Burnley on Monday put Arsenal five points clear at the top of the table and within touching distance of winning the title. While the Gunners would have been confident of beating Palace and winning it on the final day, Bournemouth have ensured they don't have to wait until then.
