Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.

The Gunners’ long wait to add to their 13 top-flight titles was ended when Pep Guardiola’s side dropped points in their penultimate match, the game in hand they had over their rivals.

It left Arsenal with an unassailable lead at the top and kicked off the celebrations in north London.

Mikel Arteta’s side will formally be presented with the trophy on Sunday after their final match of the season at Crystal Palace.

They could still make it an historic double for the club as they chase their first Champions League title in the final against Paris St Germain later this month.
