What you need to know:

  • Arsenal had beaten Burnley 1-0 on Monday, meaning City had to win on the south coast to extend the race to the final day.
  • But a subdued City trailed to Eli Junior Kroupi's first-half goal and Erling Haaland's stoppage time reply was too late.

Arsenal ended their 22-year wait to win the Premier League title on Tuesday when they were confirmed as champions following second-placed Manchester City's 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.

Leaders for almost the entire season, Mikel Arteta's side are now four points clear with one game remaining and Sunday's clash at Crystal Palace will now be a coronation.
