Arsenal have won their first Premier League title in 22 years as fans and players partied into the early hours of the morning after Manchester City dropped points at Bournemouth
The moment the full-time whistle blew after Manchester City’s trip to the South Coast, Arsenal players were already together.
Mikel Arteta’s side had gathered at their training ground knowing anything other than a City win would crown them champions for the first time in 22 years. And the moment they realised was caught on camera.
Huge cheers went from an Arsenal side that has so often been the bridesmaids. In the footage, which was later shared on social media, Eberechi Eze can be seen dancing on the table as Bukayo Saka is in the centre of the melee with both his arms in the air.

Riccardo Calafiori can be seen lifting William Saliba off the ground, while Jurrien Timber shared a video of a member of club staff crowd-surfing on top of the celebrations.
Declan Rice shared a quick snap with his team-mates to his Instagram account, where the cut-out of a Premier League trophy could be seen.
He captioned the post, showing several members of the team posing and grinning: “I told you all.. it’s done.”
Gabriel took some time away from his team-mates to call his stunning WAG, breaking down in tears with his partner over Facetime.
And as the Arsenal first-team had gathered at their training ground, some WAGs had met up to watch the clash together. Milly White, Ben White’s better half, had watched the clash with Sophia Weber (Kai Havertz) and Helene Spilling (Martin Odegaard).
The trio posed on a sofa with huge smiles as Milly held a glass of wine – toasting the Gunners’ success.
There were wild scenes over at the Emirates Stadium, as fans flocked to the ground after winning the title. Flares were let off as the night sky was turned red, while one social media video showed Gunnersaurus joining the celebrations.
In one video, recorded outside the Armoury, Arsenal supporters can be seen bouncing arm-in-arm while embracing one another.
Pictures show club legend Wright joining in the celebrations. The former striker was a key part of the 1997/98 Premier League winning Arsenal squad.
“Look at how the Arsenal fans are celebrating in front of the Emirates Stadium. That’s the joy that has been delayed for years,” one supporter shared.
“North London and the Emirates Stadium is rocking,” a second said. While a third posted: “It’s absolute bedlam at the Emirates Stadium!
“I’m so pleased for our young fans who are experiencing this for the first time. Now everyone at the Emirates knows why it is to be the champions,” a fourth posted. And another added: “Someone teleport me to the Emirates RIGHT NOW!”
Arsenal are set to get their hands on the Premier League trophy this Sunday, when they make the short trip to Selhurst Park for their final-day showdown with Crystal Palace.
