Arsenal sealed the Premier League title with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, marking their first championship in 22 years. The Gunners, led by Mikel Arteta, secured the title when Manchester City drew against Bournemouth. In their celebratory match, Arsenal scored through Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke, ending the season with 26 wins in 38 games.
Following a crucial defeat to City in April, Arsenal bounced back with five consecutive wins to finish seven points ahead of their rivals. The team celebrated their victory at Selhurst Park, with captain Martin Odegaard lifting the trophy amidst confetti, fireworks, and champagne showers from fans.
The jubilant atmosphere continued with songs, inflatable trophy replicas, and the ‘North London forever’ anthem. The team will parade the trophy in North London on May 31 before focusing on the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30. Arteta made strategic changes ahead of the final, including giving opportunities to young talents like Max Dowman, who set a record as the youngest ever Premier League starter.
Arsenal’s victory was highlighted by goals from Jesus and Madueke, showcasing the team’s set-piece expertise. Despite a late goal from Jean-Philippe Mateta, Arsenal’s celebrations remained the focal point of the day.
