Arsenal win Premier League title LIVE: Latest news and reaction as Gunners end 22-year wait

Arsenal crowned Premier League champions after Man City drop points in crunch clash

The celebrations continue in north London, and beyond, after last night Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. After a season filled with knife-edge matches and, at times, crippling tension, the title-winning moment came while they were sat at home as Manchester City fail beat Bournemouth and take the title race to the final day of the season. Erling Haaland’s 95th-minute equaliser was not enough to deny Arsenal, after Eli Junior Kroupi’s first-half wondergoal at the Vitality Stadium.
