Arsenal end 22-year wait to win Premier League title

Arsenal have officially won the 2025/26 Premier League title, ending the club’s 22-year wait for the English league crown.

Mikel Arteta’s side secured the championship on Tuesday night after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth.

The result leaves Arsenal four points clear at the top with only one match remaining.

The title triumph marks Arsenal’s first Premier League success since Arsène Wenger’s legendary “Invincibles” side completed the 2003/04 season unbeaten.

Arsenal moved to the brink of the title after defeating Burnley 1-0 on Monday before City’s failure to win officially confirmed the Gunners as champions.

The achievement represents a major breakthrough for Arteta, who has now delivered his second major trophy as Arsenal manager following the 2020 FA Cup success.

It also ends years of frustration for the North London club after three consecutive runner-up finishes behind Manchester City and Liverpool in recent seasons.

Arsenal spent much of the campaign at the top of the table, but came under pressure during April when City closed the gap in the title race.

A 2-1 defeat at the Etihad Stadium briefly raised doubts over Arsenal’s ability to hold onto first place.

However, Arteta’s side responded strongly during the closing weeks of the season to finally secure the club’s long-awaited league triumph.

The title also ends Arsenal’s six-year trophy drought and completes one of the club’s most impressive domestic campaigns in recent history.

The official Premier League trophy presentation is expected to take place after Arsenal’s final league game against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
