Arsenal have been confirmed as champions of the 2025/26 Premier League season after Manchester City dropped points in a draw against Bournemouth. The result ended Arsenal’s 22-year wait for the English top-flight title.
The Gunners moved closer to the trophy after beating Burnley 1-0 on Monday night, thanks to a winning goal from Kai Havertz off a Bukayo Saka corner.
Mikel Arteta’s side went five points ahead of Manchester City, leaving Pep Guardiola’s men needing a win over Bournemouth to keep their title hopes alive. However, City’s draw at the Vitality Stadium officially handed Arsenal the league crown before their final game against Crystal Palace.
The title marks Arsenal’s first Premier League triumph since the famous 2003/04 “Invincibles” season under former manager Arsène Wenger, when the club completed the campaign unbeaten.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth also celebrated a major achievement as their unbeaten run stretched to 17 league matches, securing European football for the first time in the club’s history.
