Arsenal concluded their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, officially securing their first Premier League title in 22 years. The Gunners finished the season seven points clear of Manchester City.
Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke provided the goals for the champions before Jean-Philippe Mateta scored a late consolation for the hosts. Following the final whistle, captain Martin Odegaard raised the trophy in front of the traveling supporters, while manager Mikel Arteta was celebrated by his squad.
The match also marked a historic milestone for 16-year-old Max Dowman. By starting the game at Selhurst Park, he became the youngest player ever to start a Premier League match at 16 years and 144 days old.
However, the victory was marred by a potential injury to Noni Madueke, who was forced off late in the game with a suspected hamstring issue. The winger will now face a race against time to be fit for the upcoming Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
