19 May 2026
Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth. The result gave Mikel Arteta’s side an unassailable four-point lead with one league match remaining.
City needed to win at the Vitality Stadium to keep the title race alive, but Junior Kroupi’s goal and Erling Haaland’s late equaliser were not enough. Arsenal players and supporters celebrated after years of near misses under Arteta.
