Arsenal win Premier League after Man City held by Bournemouth

BOURNEMOUTH: Thousands of Arsenal fans descended on the Emirates Stadium to celebrate a first Premier League title in 22 years on Tuesday (May 19) after Manchester City were held 1-1 by Bournemouth.

City had to win to take the title fight to the final day, but the Cherries extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club's history.

After finishing second for the past three seasons, Mikel Arteta's side have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought.

Arsenal edged to the brink of a 14th English top-flight title with an unconvincing 1-0 win over already relegated Burnley on Monday, which took them five points clear of City.

The Gunners, who have set the pace for most of the season, have bounced back impressively since losing to City last month, winning four straight league matches without conceding a goal.

"Congratulations to Arsenal, Mikel, the staff, all the players, fans for this Premier League," said City boss Pep Guardiola. "You deserve it!"
