Arsenal fans celebrate first Premier League title in 22 years

Arsenal have won the Premier League to end a 22-year wait for a title and break a run of three successive seasons as runners-up on Tuesday, 19 May.

The Gunners were confirmed as champions thanks to Manchester City slipping up at Bournemouth in a 1-1 draw – a game City had to win to stay in the title race.

Arsenal fans celebrating the title-winning moment were captured on a BBC live broadcast inside The Drayton Park Arms in North London.

Mikel Arteta’s side will travel across London to Crystal Palace on the final day of the 2025/26 season as champions, having clinched the club’s 14th title, the third-most in English football history.
