Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to be crowned Premier League champions on Tuesday after Manchester City were held 1-1 by Bournemouth.

City had to win to take the title fight to the final day, but the Cherries extended their unbeaten streak to 17 league games, a run which has secured European football for the first time in the club’s history.

After finishing second for the past three seasons, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners have finally made it over the line to end a six-year trophy drought.

Arsenal edged to the brink of the title with an unconvincing 1-0 win over already relegated Burnley on Monday, which took them five points clear of City.

The Gunners, who have set the pace for most of the season, have bounced back impressively since losing to City last month, winning four straight league matches without conceding a goal.

On Monday, just 48 hours after completing a domestic cup double with victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final, City were rocked by widespread reports that manager Pep Guardiola will depart after a decade in charge at the end of the season.

Victory at Wembley on Saturday secured a 20th trophy of Guardiola’s glorious reign.

But he cannot add to his six Premier League titles when Aston Villa visit the Etihad on Sunday for what is expected to be his final match in charge.

Guardiola had warned that fatigue could cost City against a highly motivated Bournemouth, who still have Champions League qualification in their sights for next season.

As it stands, Bournemouth will be in the Europa League after ensuring they will finish no lower than seventh.

Sixth could be good enough for a place in the Champions League if Aston Villa finish fifth and win Wednesday’s Europa League final.

City fans forlornly chanted “One more year, Guardiola” in the early stages at the Vitality Stadium in a bid to convince their decorated coach to see out the final season of his contract.

But if the travelling fans hoped City’s players would be inspired to give Guardiola a glorious goodbye, they were left sorely disappointed.

Antoine Semenyo had the ball in the net on his return to Bournemouth but was flagged offside in City’s best moment of a flat first half.

The home side suddenly sprang to life to open the scoring in the 39th minute.

Eli Junior Kroupi curled a brilliant strike into the top corner to set a new record of 13 goals in a debut Premier League season for a teenager.

Nico O’Reilly wasted City’s best chance of a lifeline when he was denied by Djordje Petrovic just seconds into the second half.

Guardiola watched on pensively as his side’s title challenge fizzled out with a whimper.

After winning what was billed a title decider against Arsenal last month, City put the destiny of the title back in their rivals’ hands by drawing 3-3 at Everton.

Guardiola looks set to depart having failed to win the league for two consecutive seasons for the first time in his coaching career.

Rayan and David Brooks hit the post as Bournemouth should have secured victory in Andoni Iraola’s final home game in charge.

Erling Haaland’s equaliser deep into stoppage time came too little, too late to save City’s title challenge.

But it was a big goal for Liverpool, who now have a three-point cushion over Bournemouth and a goal difference advantage of six heading into the final day battle to secure a top-five finish and Champions League football.

Pep Guardiola spoke in an interview for the first time since it was unofficially confirmed that he will leave Manchester City this summer

Pep Guardiola spoke for the first time since news broke that he will leave Manchester City this season ahead of the Premier League game at Bournemouth.

The City boss did his pre-match broadcast interview where Sky Sports told him that it would be ‘unfair’ to ask him about his future before the game so instead asked him if the stories had disrupted their preparations.

City face a huge game in the Premier League, needing to end Bournemouth’s 15-game unbeaten run to take the title race to the final day. And while that is a meaty topic in itself, Guardiola leaving English football in a week is arguably bigger.

City insist that Guardiola remains their manager and has a contract until 2027. And the manager said that the stories in the last 24 hours had ‘zero’ impact on the squad as they prepared for the game. Guardiola is also expected to conduct post-match media duties including flash interviews and a press conference.

News broke on Monday evening that Guardiola will be departing the club this summer despite having another year to run on his contract. It has not been confirmed by the manager or the club, who have stated that he remains in charge and has a deal until 2027.

City travel to Bournemouth knowing that they need to win if they want to stay alive in the Premier League title race. Arsenal’s win over Burnley on Monday night moves them five points clear at the top of the table, so anything less than victory for the Blues on Tuesday will crown Arsenal as champions with a game to spare.

Guardiola has called on his City players to force Arsenal to win the title for themselves rather than being handed it on the final day. The Gunners have to go to Selhurst Park on Sunday, with City at home to an Aston Villa team that have already qualified for the Champions League and have the Europa League final on Wednesday.

West Ham star Jarrod Bowen has been linked with a move to Manchester United this summer

Manchester United are being credited with an interest in signing Jarrod Bowen, and are said to have a plan in place should they sign the West Ham star. United have just one match left to play this season before the attention turns to the summer transfer window.

The Reds have already been linked with a host of potential new signings, with Bowen’s name being mentioned as a possible target for this summer.

It has been reported by The Guardian that United are one of several clubs showing an interest in signing Bowen and could take advantage if the Hammers are relegated from the Premier League.

The report claims that Liverpool and Chelsea are also expressing an interest in signing Bowen, with West Ham said to need to raise £100million in transfer fees if they drop down to the Championship.

Interestingly, the report goes on to say that United see Bowen as a potentially valuable asset due to his ability to operate in several different positions.

United are said to be considering deploying Bowen as a left winger if they bring the 29-year-old to Old Trafford, despite it not being one of his favoured roles.

Bowen typically plays as a right winger for West Ham and is also capable of being used as a centre forward when required, but has rarely been used on the left side of the forward line.

The England international recently opened up on his future at West Ham and the speculation that a departure from the London Stadium could be on the cards if the Hammers were to be relegated from the Premier League.

“I’ve done it since I’ve been at Hull,” Bowen told Sky Sports. “I sit down at the end of every season and think, what’s best for me?

“What do I feel? What’s my gut feeling? And then make a decision and go with it there.”

United have already secured qualification to the Champions League following their win over Liverpool last month, and will now prepare to face Brighton on Sunday in their final match of the season.

As previously reported by the Manchester Evening News, Michael Carrick is expected to be named as United’s head coach on a permanent basis.

Carrick is set to sign a two-year deal to become United’s long-term boss, which will also include the option of a further 12 months.

MANILA, Philippines—Carlos Yulo added yet another gold medal to his collection, this time for the Olympique Antibes-Juan-les-Pins (OAJLP) Gymnastique in France.

Already having brought glory to the Philippines, Yulo helped out in giving OAJLP a championship in the French Men’s Artistic Gymnastics circuit.

In the floor exercise, where he captured one of his two gold medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics, Yulo showed his prowess anew with 15.050 points.

OAJLP’s win effectively dethroned ASVG Vallauris out of the title picture.
