Arsenal Win Premier League Title

Arsenal have secured a first Premier League title in 22 years. Mikel Arteta’s side’s long wait for the title ended after Man City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth; it ends a run of three straight second-place finishes, with the trophy lift set to take place at Selhurst Park on Sunday.

 

Arsenal have topped the table for much of the season, but their title bid looked to have hit shaky ground in April as Man City started to breathe down their necks. A 2-1 defeat at the Etihad seemed to hand the title advantage to City but the Gunners rallied and have held off Pep Guardiola’s side to win the league for the first time since the Invincibles in the 2003/04 season.

It ends a six-year period without a trophy and is Arteta’s second major honour as manager at the Emirates Stadium.

There could be more silverware on the horizon for Arsenal as they bid to win the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

The Gunners face defending champions PSG in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday May 30; kick-off 5pm.
