SOC:Arsenal champions after Man City held at Bournemouth

Arsenal have been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after second-placed Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by a Bournemouth side who sealed a place in Europe.

Amid reports manager Pep Guardiola will step down at the end of the season, City needed to win at Vitality Stadium on Tuesday (Wednesday AEST) to take the title race to the final day.

Erling Haaland equalised in added time to cancel out Junior Kroupi's record-breaking 13th top-flight goal of the campaign, but the visitors were unable to force a winner as Guardiola was denied a potential fairytale farewell.

Bournemouth's historic achievement was a fitting way to mark the final home game of head coach Andoni Iraola, who was given a rousing send-off at fulltime ahead of being replaced by Marco Rose in the summer.
