Jubilant Arsenal fans partied outside the Emirates as they clinched their first Premier League title in 22 years. Supporters streamed into the streets of north London after Mikel Arteta's side were crowned champions of England for the fourth time on Tuesday night, following Manchester City's failure to beat Bournemouth.
Celebrations Erupt Across North London
Arsenal fans filled the pubs of north London and celebrated wildly once their title win was confirmed. Thousands gathered outside the Emirates, setting off flares, waving flags, and chanting to mark their first league title since Arsene Wenger lifted the trophy in 2004.
Supporters had flocked to Arsenal pre-match pubs, including the Drayton Park Arms, the World’s End in Finsbury Park, and the Tollington just minutes away from their stadium. Emotional Gunners fans popped champagne, hugged one another, and climbed onto tables as the pubs erupted moments after the victory was confirmed.
Historic Achievement for Arteta's Side
Wild celebrations are set to continue long into the night, with many Arsenal fans witnessing their first ever league title win. Manchester City's draw to Bournemouth in Pep Guardiola's penultimate game means they can no longer overtake Arsenal with just one game remaining.
Arteta's men have been runners-up in each of the last three seasons but finally overcame Guardiola's team to be able to call themselves Kings of England. And more glory could follow next week as they face Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Champions League.
Arsenal will pick up the Premier League trophy after Sunday's final game away at Crystal Palace, with tickets now gold dust for their most loyal fans.
