Arsenal win the Premier League – how the Gunners celebrated the title win

Arsenal The players were pictured outside the Emirates Stadium at 05:00 GMT after being crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years, as their celebrations continued.

Eberechi Eze posted photos on Instagram in the early hours of Wednesday, standing outside his north London stadium alongside team-mates Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Joren Timber.

On Tuesday night, fans gathered outside the stadium and nearby bars as rivals Manchester City played Bournemouth, needing a win to keep the title race alive.

In the end, Pep Guardiola’s side could only draw, ensuring Arsenal won the title for the first time in 22 years.

As the final whistle blew on the south coast, joy exploded in pubs across north London, as Arsenal fans celebrated the moment they felt, after their recent title failure, might never come.

There were also celebrations at the Gunners’ training ground.

This is where the Arsenal team gathered in the evening and, as is often the case in pubs, the final whistle was greeted with huge celebrations. Players and staff danced and embraced, chanting: “Campeones, Campeones, Ole Ole Ole!”

Last month, Arsenal captain Declan Rice was seen insisting “it’s not done” after the Gunners lost to Manchester City. But on Tuesday, with the title race decided, he posted a photo on social media of players celebrating, captioning: “It’s done.”

The title win came in Mikel Arteta’s seventh year in charge, and underscored what can be achieved if a coach is given time.

Former Premier League goalkeeper Paul Robinson told BBC Radio 5 Live: “Mikel Arteta has been there for a long period of time. The best gift you can give a good manager is time.”

“Yes, you can give them hundreds of millions of pounds, but you have to transfer that money into a team, into a dressing room, into a winning side.

“Are you giving the boss a good time? That’s the proof.”
