Arsenal win Premier League title after Man City fall to defeat at Bournemouth – live reaction

Arsenal laboured against David Moyes’ well-drilled Everton side before Year 11 student Max Dowman’s introduction in the 74th minute changed the game, and the course of the title race, in the Gunners’ favour. Dowman provided Gyokeres’ opener with one minute left before the teenager, aged 16 years and 73 days, struck a stoppage-time breakaway goal to become the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history.

Dropped points in draws at Brentford and then Wolves – where they surrendered a two-goal lead – prompted questions about Arsenal’s title mentality ahead of a trip to Spurs. However, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze both scored twice as the Gunners ran riot at the home of their fierce rivals to silence their critics and move five points clear of City.

Eli Junior Kroupi’s stunner put Arsenal on course for the title – and they never strayed from it.

Pep Guardiola has remained coy over his future and has chosen not confirmed the reports surrounding his imminent exit at Manchester City.

He told Sky Sports: “I could say I have one more year of contract. I’m in a position I’ve had for many many years. It’s always from my experience, when you announce during the competition, it’s a bad result.

“The first person I have to talk to is my chairman. We decide when we finish the season, we’ll see and we’ll talk. It’s as simple as that and after that we’ll take the decision.

“I will not tell you here because I have to talk with my chairman, my players and my staff.”

He added: “I’m the happiest man in the planet to be in this club, this club is just extraordinary.”

In Arsenal’s ecstasy comes Manchester City’s agony, on a day that looks set to go down as one of the most gut-wrenching in their history.

A last-gasp Erling Haaland strike was too little, too late at the Vitality as they failed to do what was required and beat Bournemouth, ending their title hopes going into the final day.

And on that final day, Pep Guardiola will by all accounts bid farewell after a glory-laden 10 years at the Etihad – news that has emerged over the past 24 hours.

Guardiola is about to speak to Sky Sports – let’s see what he has to say…

Arsenal are Premier League champions for a fourth time, and a first time since their 2004 Invincibles.

They last topped the table when Arsene Wenger guided the club to the third of three titles in his famous reign, doing the unprecedented by going unbeaten in a 38-game Premier League campaign.

But in the seventh full season of Arteta’s spell in charge at Emirates Stadium, having rebuilt the club, Arsenal have finally returned to the top of English football.

A quick warning for headphone users – the full-time scenes at the Emirates were taking the microphones in place to their absolute limit.

Sheer, unadulterated jubilation. It’s been a long 22 years.
