Arsenal have finally returned to the summit of English football after sealing their first Premier League crown in 22 years following Manchester City’s draw against Bournemouth.
The result confirmed Mikel Arteta’s side as champions with an unassailable lead at the top of the table ahead of the final round of matches.
The News Chronicle reports that after this win Arsenal fans exploded in celebration throughout North London as the long wait for another league championship formally ended.
Many people gathered around Emirates Stadium and in pubs throughout the city to see the historic moment that marked the end of a fantastic season for the Gunners.
Arsenal’s road to the championship was founded on persistence, resiliency, and offensive football that maintained them ahead of reigning champions Manchester City for the bulk of the season.
Having come in second in the prior three seasons, Arteta’s team at last broke through and brought the club its first league victory since Arsene Wenger’s famous Invincibles side of 2004.
Although they had a tough time in April, losing at the Etihad Stadium, Arsenal bounced back with great force and stayed resilient when faced with pressure.
The title also ends the club’s six-year wait for major silverware and boosts even more Arteta’s developing legacy at the club.
Arsenal’s final league game and Champions League ultimate showdown against Paris Saint-Germain will be the focus of attention now.
