Arsenal's players started celebrating on the final whistle of Manchester City's draw at Bournemouth and it seems they are yet to stop. A group of them began arriving at Emirates Stadium as early as 05:00 BST on Wednesday, with the likes of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber caught on camera outside their home ground. "There's probably only one way you're going to get away with that and it's the evening you have been crowned Premier League champions after 22 years," ex-defender Matthew Upson told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast.

"I think we can cut them a little bit of slack. " Last month, Rice was seen insisting "it's not done" after the Gunners lost to Manchester City. But on Tuesday, with the title race decided, he posted a picture on social media of players celebrating, captioned: "I told you all...

it's done. " Teenage sensation Max Dowman may not have been allowed to pull an all-nighter but he can, at the very least, rejoice in becoming the youngest player ever to win the Premier League. Dowman, at 16 years, 144 days, moves past Phil Foden, who won the league ages 17 years and 350 days.
