Arsenal supporters across the world burst into celebration on Tuesday night after the North London club clinched their first Premier League title in 22 years.
The Gunners were officially crowned champions following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth, a result that left Mikel Arteta’s men unreachable at the top of the table with one game remaining.
The triumph ended Arsenal’s long wait for a league crown since their legendary 2003/04 “Invincibles” campaign under former manager Arsène Wenger. It also marked the club’s 14th English top-flight title.
Several supporters took to X to express their joy, relief and disbelief after years of heartbreak and near misses.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, an Arsenal supporter, wrote on X: “22 long years for the Arsenal. But finally, we’re back where we belong. Champions!”
London Mayor Sadiq Khan reacted on X, saying: “Congratulations to Arsenal – the first London club to win the league in almost a decade and 22 years in the making.”
