Arsenal were crowned champions for the first time since 2004 after second-placed Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday
Erling Haaland has congratulated Arsenal on winning the Premier League title. The Gunners’ 22-year wait for the Premier League title ended on Tuesday night following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth.
The result sparked wild celebrations among the players and staff at their training base, as well as thousands of supporters at the Emirates.
And taking to social media on Wednesday night, Haaland showed his class by posting: “Not the ending we hoped for, but we’ll use this feeling the right way next season. To every City fan who travelled with us this season, thank you Congrats to Arsenal for the title.”
Haaland has equalised in the fifth minute of added time at Vitality Stadium to cancel out Junior Kroupi’s first-half opener but Pep Guardiola’s side could not find a last-gasp winner to take the title race to the final day.
And Haaland admitted post-match: “Every game in the Premier League is difficult, we tried, it wasn’t enough.
“The whole club should use this as motivation now. We should be angry, we should feel a fire inside our belly because it’s not good enough. It’s gone two years now, it feels like forever.
“We’re going to do everything we can, everyone that will be here next season, to win the league.”
The Gunners will lift the Premier League trophy after their final league match of the season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday.
They will then take on reigning champions Paris St Germain in Budapest bidding to claim the title for the first time.
