Arsenal have finally done it. After a 22-year wait, the Gunners are Premier League champions once again, and the celebrations have been nothing short of spectacular. The title was confirmed when Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth, handing Arsenal the trophy they've been chasing for over two decades.

Bukayo Saka, one of the key figures in Arsenal's remarkable campaign, didn't hold back in his celebrations – or his message to the critics. In a video posted at the club's training ground, Saka stood beside a blacked-out Premier League trophy that was designed to light up when the team won, and delivered a powerful message:

"Light that up. Let me tell you something. Twenty-two years, 22 years. There was laughing, there was joking, they're not laughing anymore. Look, it is going to be shining, it is going to be shining bright."

Arsenal players were seen outside the Emirates Stadium in the early hours of Wednesday morning, celebrating with thousands of fans who had gathered to witness history. The scenes were emotional and jubilant, marking the end of the longest trophy drought the club has ever experienced.

Defender Myles Lewis-Skelly, also celebrating with champagne, had a message for those who had criticized the team throughout the season:

"They called us bottlers. And now we're holding the bottle."

The 22-year gap between top-flight titles marks the longest wait between championships since Liverpool's extraordinary 30-year drought between 1989-90 and 2019-20. Arsenal's 14th top-flight title puts them third on the all-time list, behind Liverpool and Manchester United, who each have 20 championships.

Arsenal have accumulated 82 points this season, and a victory in their final game at Crystal Palace on Sunday would see them surpass Liverpool's total of 84 points from last season – a remarkable achievement that underscores just how dominant this campaign has been.

Remarkably, Arsenal have become only the second side in history to win a top-flight title in eight different decades, joining Liverpool in this exclusive club. This achievement speaks to the club's longevity and consistent competitiveness throughout English football history.

The title win caps off a remarkable season for Mikel Arteta's side, who showed immense resilience and quality to dethrone Manchester City and end their own incredible run of success. After years of near-misses and criticism, Arsenal have finally silencing their doubters and brought the Premier League trophy back to North London.
