Arsenal is the new champion of England after 22 years! » Bournemouth confused Manchester City

The results of the 37th round of the Premier League

The Gunners' hard-fought 1-0 win at Burnley on Monday night put huge pressure on Pep Guardiola's side, who could not afford to make any mistakes to keep their title fight alive.

Everything came just a day after the news that Pep Guardiola will leave Manchester City at the end of the season, and the atmosphere around the champion of the last years was extremely tense, with the fans of the “citizens” having special banners for the Spanish technician.

Bournemouth opened the scoring with a spectacular execution

Manchester City started the game better and tried to take control from the first minutes. Jeremy Doku came close to opening the scoring, but Djordje Petrovic made an excellent save to keep the scoreboard intact.

The Citizens went wide once again after Antoine Semenyo fired the ball home, but it was correctly ruled out for offside. However, UEFA Champions League contenders Bournemouth hit back at a time when City looked to be in control.

Following the draw, Andoni Iraola's team ensured their presence in the Europa League. Adrian Truffert created an excellent phase in the left lane and passed to Junior Kroupi on the edge of the box. The France U21 international then produced a superb finish and fired unstoppably into the box with no chance for Gianluigi Donnarumma. The goal practically decided the fight for the title, and the new champion of England is Arsenal.

Arsenal win the title after 22 years

Manchester City tried to force an equalizer in the second half, but Bournemouth defended superbly and held on until the end.

Following this result, Arsenal become the new champions of England and win their first league title since the 2003/2004 season, when Arsene Wenger's team ended the famous “Invincibles” season.

For Manchester City, the defeat comes at an extremely difficult time. Just one day after the announcement of Pep Guardiola's departure at the end of the season, the “citizens” also lose the title.

Premier League standings

In the last round of the Premier League, Arsenal will go to Crystal Palace, in a game where the Londoners will officially celebrate winning the title. On the other hand, Manchester City will receive the visit of Aston Villa in a duel that, under other conditions, could have the title on the table, even if Pep Guardiola's team would no longer be completely dependent on their own results. Following this result, the game will be Guardiola's last game on the bench.
