Piero Hincapie aimed a dig at Manchester City fans as Arsenal secured the Premier League title on Tuesday night. City needed a win at Bournemouth to keep the title race alive but were held to a 1-1 draw, handing Arsenal their first league crown since 2004.
The Arsenal squad gathered at their training centre to watch the match and erupted at the final whistle. Hincapie was seen swigging from a bottle similar to one a City fan drank from during City's 3-0 win over Chelsea in April, a gesture that had suggested Arsenal were 'bottling' the title race.
Bukayo Saka posted a video of Myles Lewis-Skelly holding a bottle of bubbly and saying: 'They called us bottlers. They called us bottlers. And now we're holding the bottle!' Declan Rice also shared a selfie with teammates, captioning it: 'I told you all, it’s done.'
Arsenal will receive the trophy on Sunday after their match at Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola congratulated Mikel Arteta, saying: 'On behalf of Man City, congratulations to Arsenal, Mikel and all the backroom staff on the Premier League that they deserve.'
