Arsenal’s players celebrated from dawn after securing the Premier League title, with teenager Max Dowman making history as the youngest champion. This moment encapsulates the Gunners’ unity and the end of a 22-year wait.
Arsenal‘s players started celebrating on the final whistle of Manchester City’s draw at Bournemouth and it seems they are yet to stop. A group of them began arriving at Emirates Stadium as early as 05:00 BST on Wednesday, with the likes of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Jurrien Timber caught on camera outside their home ground.
“There’s probably only one way you’re going to get away with that and it’s the evening you have been crowned Premier League champions after 22 years,” ex-defender Matthew Upson told BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast. “I think we can cut them a little bit of slack.”
This euphoria is the culmination of a long journey for many in the squad. Last month, Declan Rice was seen insisting “it’s not done” after the Gunners lost to Manchester City. But on Tuesday, with the title race decided, he posted a picture on social media of players celebrating, captioned: “I told you all… it’s done.”
Amid the celebrations, teenage sensation Max Dowman made history. At 16 years and 144 days, he became the youngest player ever to win the Premier League, surpassing Phil Foden‘s record of 17 years and 350 days BBC Sport.
This title ends Arsenal’s 22-year wait for a Premier League crown, last achieved in the 2003-04 invincibles season. The early celebrations symbolize not just relief but a deep bond within the squad, with young players like Dowman embodying the club’s future.
For fans, Dowman’s record adds a layer of hope and excitement. His emergence alongside established stars like Saka and Rice suggests a sustainable path to continued success, turning this title from a long-awaited prize into a foundation for more.
