At long last, the Gunners of Arsenal have reclaimed the throne of English football, winning the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years. The celebrations across North London and indeed throughout Nigeria are nothing short of monumental. GoalZaza reports that the decisive moment came not from their own fixture but from the Vitality Stadium where Bournemouth held Manchester City to a 1. 1 draw, handing Mikel Arteta. �s men the coveted crown with two matches to spare. The Arsenal squad, led by the Nigerian international and Super Eagles talisman Victor Osimhen who played a clinical role in the campaign, demonstrated remarkable resilience throughout the season. Their formidable defence, marshalled by stalwart centre backs, and a midfield that controlled the lion. �s share of possession in every encounter, proved too much for the chasing pack. At the end of the day, the powers that be at the Premier League have rightly handed the trophy to a side that gave a good account of themselves week in and week out. Pep Guardiola, the Manchester City manager, was gracious in defeat, offering his congratulations to Arteta who once served as his assistant at the Etihad.. �We were close. On behalf of everyone at Manchester City, we congratulate Mikel and all the staff, players and fans on winning the Premier League. They deserve it, for so much hard work and effort,. � Guardiola said in a statement obtained exclusively by GoalZaza. For the Arsenal faithful in Nigeria, the scenes were electric. In Lagos, at the popular viewing centre in Ikeja, fans draped in red and white jerseys erupted into songs and chants that echoed into the early hours of the morning. In Abuja, supporters gathered at the Wuse Zone 4 hub, clinking bottles of malt and shouting. �Osimhen! Osimhen!. � as the final whistle blew in Bournemouth. It was a night of pure joy, a release of two decades of pent up frustration, and a reminder that in football, patience and hard work can indeed deliver the ultimate prize.
