Arsenal FC have officially won the Premier League title after Manchester City were held to a draw by AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
The result ends Arsenal’s 22-year wait for the league crown and confirms Mikel Arteta has delivered the club’s first Premier League triumph since the famous Invincibles era.
City’s dropped points leave Arsenal four clear at the top heading into the final round of fixtures, with the Gunners now set to lift the trophy following their trip to Crystal Palace FC on Sunday.
The match was dominated by speculation surrounding the future of City manager Pep Guardiola, amid reports suggesting he could leave the club at the end of the season.
While Guardiola insisted the rumours had no effect on his players, Bournemouth produced one of their strongest performances of the campaign to frustrate the defending champions.
Teenage forward Junior Kroupi gave the hosts the lead before half-time with a composed curling finish after Bournemouth repeatedly exposed City defensively.
