North London is RED and the party has officially begun!
After two decades of heartbreak, near-misses, and “what ifs,” Arsenal Football Club are once again the kings of English football. On Sunday, May 24, 2026, Mikel Arteta’s incredible side capped off a sensational 2025/26 season by lifting the Premier League trophy at Selhurst Park after a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
The Gunners finished the campaign with a commanding 85 points, seven points clear of Manchester City, boasting a +44 goal difference, and an almost flawless record. This is Arsenal’s fourth Premier League title and their 14th English top-flight crown overall.
How The Title Was Won
The moment of pure ecstasy came earlier in the week when Manchester City could only manage a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. That result mathematically confirmed Arsenal as champions with a game to spare — ending 22 years of waiting since the legendary “Invincibles” side of 2003/04.
But the real party happened on the final day. Arsenal received a guard of honour from Crystal Palace before kick-off, then delivered a professional performance:
- Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke scored for the Gunners.
- Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled one back for Palace late on.
Final Score: Crystal Palace 1-2 Arsenal
Captain Martin Ødegaard lifted the trophy high into the south London sky as red and white confetti rained down. The scenes were emotional — players, staff, and thousands of travelling Gooners singing, crying, and jumping in celebration.
A Season For The History Books
This wasn’t just any title win. Arsenal dominated from start to finish:
- 26 wins, 7 draws, 5 losses
- Only 27 goals conceded all season
- Zero red cards
- Zero penalties conceded
Mikel Arteta has built something special. From three painful second-place finishes in previous seasons, he turned the pain into fuel and delivered the ultimate prize. The Spaniard is now the first Arsenal manager since Arsène Wenger to win the Premier League.
Young talents like 16-year-old Max Dowman even earned winners’ medals, adding extra magic to the story.
What’s Next For The Gunners?
With the Premier League trophy secured, all focus now turns to the UEFA Champions League Final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 30 in Budapest. Can Arsenal complete a historic double?
For now though, it’s time to celebrate. From the Emirates to the streets of Islington, from Lagos to Nairobi, Gooners around the world are losing their voices.
The 22-year wait is over. Arsenal are champions of England once again.
