Arsenal End 22-Year Title Drought as Southampton Expelled from Play-Offs
Arsenal Win Premier League; Southampton Expelled from Play-Offs

Arsenal have ended their 22-year wait for a Premier League title after closest rivals Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth. The result leaves Arsenal with an unassailable four-point lead at the top with one game remaining. Mikel Arteta's side will be formally presented with the trophy on Sunday after their final match of the season at Crystal Palace.

City manager Pep Guardiola refused to clarify his future after the match, amid widespread reports that he will leave the club at the end of the season. Guardiola, who has a year left on his contract, stated he will hold talks with chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak in the coming days.

In another major development, Southampton have been expelled from the Championship play-off final after admitting to spying on opponents on three occasions this season, including Middlesbrough earlier this month. An independent commission handed down the sanction, which also includes a four-point deduction for next season. Middlesbrough have been reinstated and will face Hull in Saturday's final.

Elsewhere, Tottenham's relegation battle goes to the final day after a 2-1 defeat at Chelsea. Spurs now need at least a point against Everton to stay up, while West Ham face Leeds with a chance of survival.

Today's action includes Aston Villa facing Freiburg in the Europa League final in Istanbul, as they bid for their first trophy in 30 years.
