Premier League champions Arsenal marked their title-winning status with a composed 2–1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday, just days after officially sealing their first English league crown in 22 years.
Arsenal had already clinched the 2025 Premier League title on Tuesday when second-placed Manchester City failed to secure a win, drawing against Bournemouth and mathematically confirming the London club as champions. The result sparked celebrations among players and supporters, ending a two-decade wait for top-flight glory.
At the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Mikel Arteta’s side returned to action with a confident performance that reflected their championship status. Despite the emotional high of midweek celebrations, Arsenal maintained focus and control for much of the match, showing composure in both possession and defensive organization.
Crystal Palace made the contest competitive, pressing at key moments and finding a way back into the game, but Arsenal’s quality in decisive phases ultimately secured all three points. The result underlined the squad’s consistency throughout the season, which proved crucial in edging out Manchester City in the title race.
The victory also highlighted the evolution of Arteta’s project, built on a blend of tactical discipline, young talent, and experienced leadership. After years of rebuilding, Arsenal’s return to the summit of English football signals a significant milestone for the club and its supporters.
With the trophy now secured, attention turns to the final matches of the season, where Arsenal will aim to finish strongly and begin preparing for their return to European competition as England’s top side.
