Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth. City's inability to secure all three points at the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday means Pep Guardiola's side can no longer reel in Arsenal when the final round of games takes place this weekend.

The Gunners, who have occupied top spot for the overwhelming majority of this season, defeated Burnley 1-0 on Monday to open up a five-point cushion between themselves and City. Kai Havertz's first-half strike proved decisive against a Burnley outfit already condemned to relegation. That heaped pressure on City to claim maximum points from their game in hand at Bournemouth, as per The Mirror .

Eli Junior Kroupi broke the deadlock in the 39th minute before a late Erling Haaland equalizer that ultimately proved too little too late for the visitors. Arsenal's previous title triumph came in 2004 under iconic manager Arsene Wenger.

Now, Mikel Arteta has finally ended the club's lengthy title drought, having endured three consecutive runner-up finishes. The Gunners started this season with purpose, surrendering points in only two of their opening 10 matches. Their consistent performance persisted throughout the winter months before aspirations of a remarkable quadruple swiftly dissolved in the spring.
