A coronation at the Palace! Arsenal lift the Premier League trophy after ending 22-year wait to be football’s Kings of England – and now Europe’s up next…

Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy; After the last day away win against Crystal Palace, the ceremony they had been waiting for 22 days for the English league championship ended.

Ian Wright described the scenes as ‘special’ as captain Martin Odegaard got the party started by holding the trophy aloft to the cheers of Declan Rice, Mikel Arteta and Co and 3,000 Arsenal fans packed into a corner of Selhurst Park.

Arsenal were forced to lift the trophy from the Emirates Stadium after their title win was confirmed following their last home game this week. After beating Burnley 1-0 on Tuesday, Arsenal drew 2-2 with their nearest rivals Manchester City at Bournemouth on Wednesday and the gap between them became indisputable.

And that made for a celebratory moment on Sunday afternoon. Odegaard lifted the trophy and manager Arteta was jubilant before the players posed for photographs in front of the fans with their first major piece of silverware in six years.

‘Wow. It was fantastic,” Arsenal legend Wright said on Sky Sports. “It’s a very special situation considering what we’ve been through over the last few seasons.

Captain Martin Odegaard led the celebrations from a corner of the stadium at Crystal Palace.

‘To see how emotional some of these guys are. I’m very happy for them and all of Arsenal.

‘Players coming in and doing a good job, that’s what we needed.’

Arsenal were denied a late Crystal Palace comeback as their thoughts turned to winning the club’s first Premier League title in 22 years.

Gabriel Jesus’ 42nd-minute goal, sneaking past goalkeeper Dean Henderson’s near post, had put Arsenal on track in a match filled with complete dominance.

Max Dowman produced a spectacular comeback effort to set up the Brazilian goal on a historic personal afternoon for the 16-year-old.

At 16 years and 144 days, he became the youngest starter in league history and showed why Mikel Arteta trusts him; There is no doubt that Dowman will stand out even more next season.

Arsenal completed their league campaign by winning 2-1 away at Crystal Palace on Sunday.

After scoring a goal, Arsenal found themselves in the attacking third with Isa missing three chances in the first half hour.

From there, Noni Madueke headed Kai Havertz’s header from a corner into the net, giving the visitors a 2-0 lead. It was Arsenal’s 19th league goal from a corner this season and has been a productive route to Arteta’s side getting over the line this season.

Palace started a late fight, motivated by a desire to give the departing Oliver Glasner the send-off he deserved.

Jean-Philippe Mateta headed in Yeremy Pino’s cross to spark hopes in the 89th minute; Before Pino thought he had scored an equalizer in stoppage time that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

VAR determined that Evann Guessand was in an offside position and the ball was heading towards the goal.

So there is no draw and Arsenal ends the season the same way it started, winning.

And it could get even better for them: They travel to Budapest, Hungary, this week for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday.
