Arsenal have ended a 22-year wait to be crowned 2025\u201326 Premier League champions after Manchester City were held to a 1\u20131 draw by Bournemouth. The result, combined with the Gunners\u2019 strong finish to the run-in, returned Arsenal to the summit and delivered the club its first top-flight crown since 2003\u201304.<\/p>\n
The Gunners capitalised on a Manchester City stumble at a pivotal moment. With City needing victory to keep the title race alive for the final game of the season, the Cityzens settled for a 1\u20131 draw against Bournemouth that crowned Arsenal Premier League champions for the first time since 2003\u201304. For supporters the day ended a long wait and prompted celebrations into the north London night.<\/p>\n
This triumph is Arsenal\u2019s 14th English top-flight title. It is the fourth time Arsenal have won the Premier League since the competition\u2019s inception in 1992\u201393, adding to three earlier Premier League successes, and it follows ten Football League First Division titles won under the competition\u2019s predecessor.<\/p>\n
Mikel Arteta becomes only the second manager in Arsenal history to win the Premier League, following Ars\u00e8ne Wenger. Wenger led Arsenal to Premier League success in 1997\u201398 and 2001\u201302, and then again in 2003\u201304 when his side completed the season unbeaten and became the only invincible team in Premier League history.<\/p>\n
Arsenal\u2019s most successful decade at the top flight came in the 1930s, when the club were crowned champions five times in that decade. Nearly a century after that run, the 2025\u201326 title returns Arsenal to the higher reaches of English football.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s 14th top-flight crown leaves Arsenal as the third most successful team in English football history, trailing Liverpool and Manchester United on 20 titles each and placing four clear of Manchester City, who have 10 overall. In the Premier League era Arsenal\u2019s four titles are behind Manchester United\u2019s 13, Manchester City\u2019s eight and Chelsea\u2019s five.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
