Mikel Arteta has told Arsenal fans to ‘enjoy the moment’ after Arsenal were finally crowned Premier League champions.

The Gunners sealed the title without kicking a ball as Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

It ends their long, long wait for a title, 22 years on from their last league triumph.

Arsenal will lift the trophy on the final day of the season at Selhurst Park on Sunday when they face Crystal Palace.

But the party has already started in north London tonight with fans celebrating on the streets after the final whistle was blown at the Vitality Stadium.

Shortly after their status as champions was confirmed, Arsenal released a video featuring a message from the manager.

‘We made history again, together. I cannot be happier, prouder for everybody that is involved in this football club. Let’s enjoy the moment,’ Arteta said.

Arsenal are still in the race for more silverware, taking on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on 30 May.
