Arsenal have ended a lengthy title drought, clinching the Premier League championship for the first time in 22 years.
It is the first time that they are proclaiming 'We are Champions!' on social media.
The triumph, which follows three agonising runner-up finishes in successive seasons, represents the ultimate vindication for manager Mikel Arteta and a squad that refused to surrender their belief despite coming so close and falling short repeatedly.
Club legend Ian Wright was overcome with emotion as he celebrated with supporters. "It's just been so tough the last three years and to finally do it, honestly, what can I say? It's amazing! This club deserves it, our fans deserve it, all around the world and everybody. We deserve this, man," said Wright, voicing the feelings of millions of Arsenal supporters globally.
