Arsenal Are Premier League Champions: Fans Hit London Streets To Celebrate First Title In 22 Years
Arsenal's decades-long wait is over. Mikel Arteta's Gunners were crowned English Premier League champions for the first time since 2004 on Tuesday night after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth. The result put an end to what might be Pep Guardiola’s final title challenge with City after the decorated manager -- even though the Spaniard didn't dismiss reports he was set to leave the club at the end of the season. City needed to win at Bournemouth to take it down to the final game of the campaign on Sunday. But the draw left Arsenal with an unassailable four-point lead at the top, ending their 22-year wait for the title. Arsenal fans celebrated wildly outside the Emirates Stadium in London, setting off flares and partying in the street. There were celebrations at the club’s training ground, too, where the players had gathered to watch the match.
