London, UK — Ekhbary News Agency
Arsenal Football Club was crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday evening, securing their first title since 2004. This historic victory came after Manchester City’s draw, one goal apiece, against Bournemouth, concluding a 22-year wait for the North London club. The triumph marks a significant return to glory, reminiscent of the "Invincibles" era under Arsene Wenger. Players and coaching staff, led by Spanish manager Mikel Arteta, gathered at their Hertfordshire training ground to watch the decisive match, where celebrations erupted the moment the final whistle blew.
Jubilant Scenes Across the Capital
Midfielder Declan Rice promptly shared a picture on Instagram after the win, featuring teammates Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and William Saliba, with the caption: "Told you all... It's over." This echoed his famous "It's not over" remark following Arsenal's loss to Manchester City last month. Video footage captured players chanting "Champions," while Eberechi Eze was seen leaping onto a table during the festivities. The team later departed for another location to continue their celebrations. Meanwhile, Arsenal fans congregated in pubs near the Emirates Stadium to watch the Bournemouth-Manchester City game, hoping for a slip-up from the reigning champions. Thousands poured into the surrounding streets, joined by former striker Ian Wright, as celebrations exploded.

Arteta's Transformative Leadership
Arsenal's official website hailed Mikel Arteta, stating he has "cemented his place in the club's history as one of the greatest managers ever." At 44, Arteta becomes the second-youngest manager to win the Premier League, trailing only Jose Mourinho, who achieved the feat with Chelsea in 2005. This title is an extraordinary achievement in Arteta's first managerial role; since taking over from Unai Emery in December 2019, he has successfully rebuilt the squad, transforming them into consistent title contenders after three consecutive seasons finishing as runners-up. The Premier League trophy is scheduled to be presented to Arsenal next Sunday at Selhurst Park, following their final match against Crystal Palace. For what it's worth, this victory truly reflects a monumental effort.
