Arsenal have made history as Premier League champions for the first time since the 2003-04 season. The win came after his direct rival Manchester City drew with Bournemouth 1-1 in the 37th round, giving the Gunners a decisive 4-point lead before the final round.
Vitality Stadium on Tuesday evening witnessed a historic moment in the history of English football, when Manchester City drew with its host Bournemouth with a goal to match him, in a result that awarded Arsenal the Premier League title after a wait of 22 years. Elie Jr. Karroubi opened the scoring for the landlords in the 38th minute, before Norwegian Erling Halland saved his team from defeat with a last-minute draw of OB time (min. 95). The Egyptian star Omar Marmouche participated in the second half as a substitute for the Belgian Jeremy Dooku in the 76th minute, in an attempt by the coach to change the course of the game, but to no avail in the steadfastness of the host team, which took advantage of the ground workers and the audience with distinction. With this result, Arsenal tops the Premier League table with 82 points, a full four points ahead of second-placed Manchester City with 78 points, with only one round remaining at the end of the season. The title marks Arsenal's 14th achievement in Premier League history, and the first since the historic 2003-04 season under legendary coach Arsene Wenger, when the team ended the season undefeated. For his part, Bournemouth has achieved a valuable result that enhances his European fortunes, as he occupies sixth place with 56 points, one point behind Liverpool, who are fifth qualifying for the Champions League next season.
