Arsenal are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years.
Mikel Arteta's side were not in action on Tuesday evening, but Bournemouth's 1-1 draw with Manchester City means that City can no longer catch them at the summit of the Premier League table.

It has been a long road back to the top for Arsenal, especially after back-to-back-to-back runners-up finishes for the Gunners since 2022-23.
The Arsenal players had gathered together to watch Tuesday night's game, and footage captured the moment the final whistle went in Bournemouth.

Hugely emotional scenes for the players and for Arsenal fans, especially those who have been following the club for many years.
Some supporters were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of some of their heroes in the wee hours of the morning outside the Emirates.

Arsenal players celebrate title wildly
On Wednesday morning, footage began to circulate showing a small group of Arsenal's players still in the throes of celebration at 5am after securing the Premier League title.

Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze, Declan Rice, and Bukayo Saka were seen celebrating with fans outside the Emirates Stadium, evidently wrapping up a night of partying to mark their first title since the Invincibles of 2004.

Saka appeared especially measured, clearly dazed by the weight of such an enormous achievement.
6am in London, less than 8 hours after winning the league… and the Arsenal boys are just casually walking around the streets like regular lads.
No entourage, no superstar behaviour — just vibes, laughter and football.
Bukayo Saka especially looking like the most normal guy… pic.twitter.com/YXSnnUNhiX

By contrast, Declan Rice was hopping around the place, asking a group of supporters to take a photo with him as he wildly celebrated the second major honour of his playing career.

Rice famously does not drink, but the toll the celebrations had taken on his voice was evident from the videos shared on social media.

It was evidently some night of celebrating for the Arsenal squad, who will have a chance to celebrate with their fans after lifting the trophy at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
The fans had made the most of Tuesday's historic title win, with incredible scenes as massive numbers of supporters gathered outside the Emirates.
Right in the thick of it was Arsenal legend Ian Wright.
Wrighty loving life last night 🍾😆@IanWright0 🎥pic.twitter.com/wLuxOxnVUi

Loving life indeed.
Arsenal fans will want their players in tip-top shape for the last week of the season, with the Champions League final against PSG just ten days away.
For now, though, it would be foolish not to enjoy such a landmark moment in the club's modern history.
