For the first time in 22 years, Arsenal are the champions of England.

The Gunners claimed their first Premier League title since 2004 on Tuesday with Bournemouth’s 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The result leaves Arsenal with an insurmountable lead of four points over Pep Guardiola’s side heading into the final matchday on Sunday.

The trophy could be Arsenal’s first of two. The Gunners will meet holders Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Final on May 30 in Budapest. Arsenal is making its first appearance in the final of Europe’s top club competition for the first time since 2006 when they were 2-1 losers to Barcelona in Paris.

The Gunners’ league title is their 14th overall and fourth in the Premier League era. Only Liverpool and Manchester United, both on 20, have won more than Arsenal.

Arsenal wraps up its league campaign away to Crystal Palace.
