Arsenal players celebrated winning the Premier League title last night, with Myles Lewis-Skelly and Bukayo Saka hitting back at their “bottlers” tag.

The Gunners are now confirmed as the 2025/26 champions after Manchester City dropped points against Bournemouth last night, leaving them four points behind with just one game remaining.

This ends Arsenal’s run of three consecutive second-place finishes, with Mikel Arteta’s side often accused of bottling it and failing to win when it matters most.

Now Arsenal’s players are clearly relishing losing that tag as they finally got over the line, with this video below uploaded to Saka’s Instagram account…

Lewis-Skelly can be seen holding a bottle of champagne and joking “they called us bottlers, but now we’re holding the bottles!”

Arsenal can still secure memorable Premier League and Champions League double

Arsenal’s season has already been a major success, but they won’t be done yet, with the club now preparing to take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.

The players’ confidence will be sky high after finally winning the title, and it will be interesting to see if that helps them in a game where they’ll most likely be seen as underdogs.

Arsenal have never won the Champions League before, and this will be only their second ever final, with PSG the reigning European champions.

For now, Arsenal will just want to celebrate this success as they prepare to lift the Premier League trophy at Selhurst Park this weekend.

But the celebrations can’t go on too long as they’ll need to be in the right frame of mind for their trip to Budapest to take on PSG at the end of the month.

The likes of Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Eberechi Eze, and Bukayo Saka looked like they spent all night partying after Manchester City’s draw with Bournemouth last night confirmed they’d won the 2025/26 title.

See the videos below as a few Arsenal players turned up outside the Emirates Stadium in the early hours of the morning to celebrate with the fans…

Rice took a picture with a group of Arsenal supporters and joined in with some chants, while Timber looked a little worse for wear after what had presumably been a long night of celebrations.

Arsenal celebrate Premier League title win

Arsenal have waited a long time for this moment, with the Gunners last lifting the Premier League trophy during the famous ‘Invincibles’ season of 2003/04.

Since then, there have been a lot of near-misses, with Mikel Arteta’s side finishing in second place three years in a row prior to finally getting over the line this term.

In many ways, the long wait and the many disappointments along the way only seemed to make this moment more special for the club and everyone associated with it, with the official Arsenal X account posting a sped-up video showing just how many fans gathered to celebrate outside the Emirates last night…

Arsenal will lift the Premier League trophy after their game against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day of the season this Sunday.

They then have the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain to look forward to, in what could truly be a memorable season if they go on to lift that trophy for the first time ever.

Patrick Vieira praises Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard

Analyzing the game live, former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira was full of praise for Mikel Arteta’s dynamic wingers.

Speaking at the interval, the Frenchman highlighted the duo as the primary source of inspiration for a dominant, yet tense, performance at the Emirates Stadium.

Viera said on Sky Sports (via BBC Sports Live):

“The two wingers have been really good, Trossard and Saka, they have been Arsenal’s two best players so far.

“They have created a lot of chances. They have to be feeding them to create more danger in the second half.”

Saka was instrumental in breaking the deadlock, providing the crucial assist from a precisely delivered corner that allowed Kai Havertz to head home the only goal of the match in the 36th minute.

Alongside Saka, Trossard’s constant movement and clever positioning kept the Burnley backline under immense pressure.

Arsenal one win away from winning historic Premier League title

The narrow 1-0 victory against the already-relegated Clarets means Arsenal have taken a monumental step toward the ultimate prise.

The three points have temporarily restored a comfortable five-point cushion over Manchester City at the top of the table.

With 19 clean sheets now secured across a remarkable campaign, the Gunners are officially just one win away from clinching their first Premier League trophy in 22 years, a feat not achieved since the legendary “Invincibles” era of 2003/04.

The title race could theoretically be decided as early as Tuesday night if Manchester City drop points away at Bournemouth.

However, should Pep Guardiola’s side win their game in hand, Arteta’s men know that a victory on the final day of the season will guarantee the historic title returns to North London, regardless of results elsewhere.
