Arsenal have won the 2025/26 Premier League title after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth. The result left City four points behind Arsenal with only one match remaining, confirming Mikel Arteta’s side as champions for the first time in 22 years.
Arsenal secured their 14th English league title, adding to the club’s rich history and ending years of disappointment after finishing runners-up in recent seasons. Fans celebrated across London, especially outside the Emirates Stadium, where thousands gathered with flags, songs and fireworks.
Manchester City struggled throughout the match against Bournemouth, with Eli Kroupi Junior scoring first before Erling Haaland equalised late in stoppage time. However, the draw was not enough to keep City in the title race.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his players for staying focused during a difficult season. Former Arsenal star Ian Wright also joined supporters in celebrating the historic achievement. Arsenal will now finish the season away to Crystal Palace as newly crowned Premier League champions.
