<\/a>Richards says he expected more from Man City<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to Arsenal, but for City, we just expect a little bit more, when it was in their hands, they couldn’t get it over the line,” said former City defender Micah Richards. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a bad day. To fall away how they have, Everton is tough, Bournemouth too, but we expect more.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Iraola hails Guardiola amid exit talk<\/p>\n

“Pep is the top of the top,\u201d Iraola told Sky Sports. \u201cHe has won everything. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a difficult game for them, they played three days ago with the tension of a final. We made them play a difficult game and they were obviously tired but they have this quality. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes it even more nice when you play like this against an opposition that are so good.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>Declan Rice celebrates Arsenal\u2019s Premier League title win with cheeky Instagram post<\/p>\n

Declan Rice celebrated Arsenal\u2019s Premier League title triumph with an Instagram post calling back to his now famous line at the end of the Gunners\u2019 April defeat by Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Rice was pictured saying \u201cit\u2019s not over\u201d to his captain Martin Odegaard at full-time in the 2-1 defeat <\/a>which swung title-race momentum in favour of reigning champions City.<\/p>\n

The moment of defiance was both hailed and mocked on social media, but Rice was proved right as the Gunners sealed their first Premier League title for 22 years following Tuesday night\u2019s 1-1 draw<\/a> between City and Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

He posted: \u201cI told you all\u2026 it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>No joy for the other side of north London<\/p>\n

A point in west London would have put an end to the Spurs nightmare that still threatens to pull them into the second tier for the first time in 48 years but they succumbed to familiar frailties, Enzo Fernandez<\/a> and Andrey Santos scoring in each half for the Blues in entirely avoidable circumstances for Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

Richarlison<\/a> got one back 16 minutes from the end to offer late hope and give the signal for a hugely tense finish, the jeopardy felt by home fans at potentially being denied a role in sending Spurs down igniting the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Iraola eyeing thank you gift from Arteta<\/p>\n

Andoni Iraola is hopeful he will receive a thank you gift from childhood friend Mikel Arteta after helping deliver his side the Premier League title.<\/p>\n

He said: “It would be lovely. Something! I haven’t even checked my phone, I should have at least one text message or something.<\/p>\n

“But it was not because of this game. They were probably going to go and finish it themselves.<\/p>\n

“I’m happy for him because he’s done an incredible job there. The last few seasons they have been very consistent.”<\/p>\n

<\/a>Bournemouth secure European football<\/p>\n

All the attention tonight will be on Arsenal\u2019s title triumph, but let\u2019s spare a word for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Their result against Manchester City means they will play European football next season.<\/p>\n

From the brink of demise at the bottom of the Football League 18 years ago, what an incredible come-up they\u2019ve experienced.<\/p>\n

<\/a>How the world looked when Arsenal last won the Premier League: Blair in charge, Eamon at No 1, \u00a32 pints<\/p>\n

Here is a glimpse at how the world looked the last time the Gunners finished top of the pile.<\/p>\n

The last time the Gunners topped the league, Tony Blair<\/a> was serving his second term as Prime Minister, with Gordon Brown, David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and Sir Keir Starmer all yet to hold the office.<\/p>\n

Daily life also looked different: a pint of beer in the UK<\/a> cost \u00a32.33, a pint of milk was just 35p, and a loaf of bread set you back 64p.<\/p>\n
