Arsenal secured the top spot in the Premier League after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth, marking their first title win in 22 years. This victory comes after Arsenal finished as runners-up for three consecutive seasons, with Man City narrowly beating them to the title in 2023/24 by just two points.
Patrick Vieira was the last Arsenal captain to lift the Premier League trophy back in 2003/04, leading a team that included notable players like Thierry Henry, Ashley Cole, Sol Campbell, and Dennis Bergkamp. Mikel Arteta, a former Premier League player, made history by becoming the first to win the trophy as a manager, taking over Arsenal in December 2019.
With this win, Arsenal now have four Premier League titles under their belt, placing them ahead of Liverpool by two titles and trailing Chelsea by just one. In the history of the English top flight, Arsenal has been crowned champions 14 times, ranking behind only Liverpool and Manchester United, who have each won the title 20 times.
The recent success of Arsenal marks a trend where the Premier League title has been claimed by three different clubs in the last three seasons, following Liverpool in 2024/25 and Manchester City in 2023/24. This achievement is only the fifth instance in which the Premier League has seen three or more different winners in consecutive seasons.
