At last, Arsenal become Premier League champions for time time in 22 years

Arsenal have been crowned the Premier League champions for the first time since 2004.

This follows Bournemouth’s 1-1 draw with second-placed Manchester City on Tuesday.

This result leaves City four points adrift of Arsenal with a game to end the season.

City had to win to take the title fight to the final day, but Bournemouth extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club’s history.

After finishing second for the past three seasons, Arsenal have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought.

Arsenal edged to the brink of the title with an unconvincing 1-0 win over already relegated Burnley on Monday, which took them five points clear of City.

The Gunners, who have set the pace for most of the season, have bounced back impressively since losing to City last month, winning four straight league matches without conceding a goal.

Arteta: I’m going to be biggest Bournemouth fan ever

On Monday, just 48 hours after completing a domestic cup double with victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, City were rocked by widespread reports that manager Pep Guardiola will depart after a decade in charge at the end of the season.

Victory at Wembley on Saturday secured a 20th trophy of Guardiola’s glorious reign.

But he cannot add to his six Premier League titles when Aston Villa visit the Etihad on Sunday for what is expected to be his final match in charge.

As it stands, Bournemouth will be in the Europa League after ensuring they will finish no lower than seventh.

Sixth team could be good enough for a place in the Champions League if Aston Villa finish fifth and win Wednesday’s Europa League final.

It was also a big goal for Liverpool, who now have a three-point cushion over Bournemouth and a goal difference advantage of six heading into the final day battle to secure a top-five finish and Champions League football.
