Arsenal supporters gathered at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal won their first Premier League title in 22 years. They were joined by club legend Ian Wright.
The Gunners defeated Burnley 1-0 at the Emirates on Monday night to secure their part of the deal, before turning their attention to the south coast where Manchester City take on Bournemouth. Barring City’s victory, Mikel Arteta’s men will be crowned champions.
Eli Junior Crupi curled the ball into the top corner of Gianluigi Donnarumma’s goal in the 40th minute, much to Arsenal’s delight. City salvaged a draw with a goal from Erling Haaland, but it wasn’t enough for Pep Guardiola’s side, with Arsenal clinching the title.
