Arsenal F.C. have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City F.C. were held to a 1-1 draw by AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday.
City, managed by Pep Guardiola, needed a victory on the south coast to keep the title race alive but failed to secure the required result.
The draw handed Arsenal an unassailable lead at the top of the table, ending the North London club’s long wait for a Premier League crown.
The triumph marks Arsenal’s first league title since their historic “Invincibles” campaign of the 2003/2004 season, when the club went unbeaten throughout the entire league campaign.
The result also represents a major milestone for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who has overseen the club’s resurgence into title contenders in recent seasons.
Manchester City’s failure to win at Bournemouth brought an end to their hopes of retaining the Premier League title after years of domestic dominance under Guardiola.
