UMVA has learned that Arsenal’s players erupted in wild celebrations after Manchester City’s failure to beat Bournemouth, handing the Gunners their first Premier League title in 22 years.
For decades the red half of North London had waited for that moment, and when the final whistle blew to confirm a 1-1 draw, the Gunners’ squad, gathered together watching the match on television, let loose in unforgettable fashion.
The scenes, captured in raw emotion, quickly spread across social media, showing a team that has endured years of near misses finally breaking through.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Declan Rice led the celebrations, sharing a dressing‑room photo with teammates Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, Eberechi Eze, and Myles Lewis‑Skelly, and a caption that said, “I told you all… it’s done.”
Rice’s moment feels like a perfect before‑and‑after to one of football’s most satisfying redemption arcs, echoing his earlier claim after a loss to City that “it’s not done.”
Arsenal ends a 22‑year wait and three consecutive runner‑up finishes, having been denied the title twice by Manchester City and once by Liverpool.
The victory marks the club’s 14th English league title and the first since the legendary 2003‑04 “Invincibles” season.
Defensively, Arsenal conceded a league‑low 26 goals in 37 games, achieved 19 clean sheets, and scored a league‑high 24 goals from set pieces, a title built on steel, tactical brilliance, and collective willpower.
UMVA has uncovered that the Gunners still have a Champions League final to play later this month in Budapest, where they will face a dangerous PSG side.
With a stronger defence and improved attack, Arteta’s side has every reason to aim for a historic double, ending the club’s wait for a Champions League trophy.
