Arsenal win Premier League title after Man City held at Bournemouth - live reaction

Arsenal have won the Premier League to end a 22-year wait for a title and break a run of three successive seasons as runners-up.

The Gunners were confirmed as champions with a game to spare thanks to Man City slipping up at Bournemouth in a 1-1 draw, with the gap still four points with only one game remaining.

City had been on the back foot for the entirety of the second half after Eli Kroupi Junior’s stunning 39th-minute opener, and while Erling Haaland was able to snatch a stoppage-time equaliser, it was too little, too late for Pep Guardiola who is expected to leave the club at the end of the season.

Mikel Arteta’s side will now travel across London to Crystal Palace on the final day of the 2025/26 season as champions, having clinched the club’s 14th title, the third-most in English football history, but a first since their 2004 “Invincibles”.
