Mikel Arteta’s side take football crown after years of near misses as rivals Manchester City drop points
Kai Havertz takes Arsenal closer to winning their first Premier League title in 22 years, but nearly goes from hero to villain as he escapes a red card. Arsenal have officially been crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years—and the Gunners didn't even have to lace up their boots on Tuesday evening. Arsenal officially won the Premier League title on Tuesday for the first time since the 2003-04 season, ending the team's decades-long wait to win England's top flight after a dominant campaign.
The success for the north London side follows three consecutive second-place finishes in the Premier League, losing out to Liverpool and twice to Manchester City. Arsenal are officially the Premier League champions!
Financial Times reported the story as "Arsenal secure first English Premier League title in 22 years." The Independent reported the story as "‘I told you all... it’s done’: Declan Rice posts on social media after Arsenal win Premier League title." Sky News reported the story as "Gunners win their first Premier League title since 2004."
