Arsenal have officially secured the 2025/26 Premier League title following Manchester City’s disappointing draw against AFC Bournemouth, bringing an end to the Gunners’ 22-year drought without a league crown.
The result at the Vitality Stadium ensured that Mikel Arteta’s men could no longer be caught at the summit of the table, triggering celebrations among Arsenal fans, players and club officials.
Arsenal had edged closer to the title on Monday after a narrow 1-0 win over Burnley F.C., with Kai Havertz netting the winner from a corner delivered by Bukayo Saka.
That victory moved the North London side five points ahead of City, leaving Pep Guardiola’s team needing all three points against Bournemouth to force the title race into the final round of matches.
But City’s slip-up confirmed Arsenal as champions ahead of their final league clash against Crystal Palace F.C..
The achievement marks Arsenal’s first Premier League triumph since the legendary 2003/04 “Invincibles” campaign under Arsène Wenger, when the club famously completed the season unbeaten.
