Ar­se­nal have been crowned Pre­mier League cham­pi­ons for the first time in 22 years af­ter Man­ches­ter City failed to beat Bournemouth on Tues­day.

Cham­pi­ons in six of the pre­vi­ous eight sea­sons, Man City need­ed to win away at Bournemouth to nar­row the gap to Ar­se­nal to just two points and take the race to the fi­nal day of the sea­son on Sun­day.

How­ev­er, a 39th-minute goal from Bournemouth's Ju­nior Kroupi put City be­hind and Er­ling Haa­land's stop­page-time equal­iz­er came too late to force the win­ner they need­ed.

Ar­se­nal's fi­nal game of the cam­paign at Crys­tal Palace on Sun­day will now be a pure­ly cel­e­bra­to­ry af­fair.
