Arsenal have been crowned English Premier League champions, sealing the title with a 2–1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
Arsenal lifted the trophy after their first match as confirmed champions, following their title-clinching draw against Manchester City earlier in the week, which secured their first league triumph in 22 years.
Arsenal took control of the final-day encounter through goals from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke, ensuring they finished the season with 26 wins from 38 matches and seven points clear of Manchester City.
Jesus opened the scoring late in the first half after linking up with Gabriel Martinelli, before Madueke doubled the lead shortly after the restart from a corner routine.
Crystal Palace pulled one back late on through Jean-Philippe Mateta, but the result could not deny Arsenal a celebratory end to a dominant campaign.
After the final whistle, captain Martin Ødegaard received the Premier League trophy as red confetti and fireworks filled the stadium, while players and fans joined in jubilant celebrations.
Manager Mikel Arteta was lifted into the air by his squad as supporters sang and celebrated the club’s first league title since 2004, waving flags and singing the anthem “North London Forever.”
The match also saw a historic moment as 16-year-old Max Dowman became the youngest player ever to start a Premier League match, as Arteta rotated his squad ahead of upcoming competitions.
Attention now shifts to a potential historic double, with Arsenal preparing for the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain later this month.
