Arsenal rounded off their Premier League title-winning season with a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on the final day of the campaign.
The win marked Arsenal’s 26th league victory of the season as Mikel Arteta’s side celebrated their first English top-flight crown in over two decades.
Arsenal took control of the match early, with Gabriel Jesus opening the scoring after a lively attacking move involving teenager Max Dowman and Gabriel Martinelli.
The champions continued to dominate possession and later doubled their lead when Noni Madueke finished from close range following a well-worked set-piece routine.
Crystal Palace, despite making several changes ahead of their upcoming European final, still showed resilience in front of their home fans.
Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled a goal back late in the game to raise hopes of an equaliser, but Arsenal managed to hold firm and secure the win. A late Palace effort was also ruled out for offside.
The atmosphere at Selhurst Park was celebratory throughout the afternoon as Palace players gave Arsenal a guard of honour before kick-off in recognition of their league triumph.
Arsenal supporters filled the away end with chants and celebrations as captain Martin Ødegaard and his teammates enjoyed a fitting end to a memorable domestic campaign.
With the Premier League title already secured, Arteta rotated his squad ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
The victory ensured Arsenal finished the season strongly, ending the campaign seven points clear at the top of the table and carrying momentum into their European showdown.
