Nigerian celebrities including Davido, Atiku Abubakar, and Festus Keyamo weigh in on Arsenal's Premier League win

Arsenal F.C. have secured the English Premier League title for the first time since the 2003/04 season, when they were led by Arsène Wenger and famously known as the "Invincibles".

n

The North London club's championship win was confirmed on Tuesday, following Manchester City F.C.'s 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium, which left them unable to catch Arsenal in the standings.

n

Mikel Arteta's team had previously defeated Burnley F.C. 1-0, putting pressure on their title rivals and ultimately taking a four-point lead with just one game remaining.

n

This margin made it mathematically impossible for Manchester City to overtake Arsenal, as the title race came to a close with one match still to be played.

n

After finishing as runners-up in the previous three seasons, Arsenal's campaign was marked by defensive solidity and key moments of efficiency, which ultimately led to their title triumph.

n

The partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães was instrumental in anchoring the team's back line, while goalkeeper David Raya kept an impressive 19 clean sheets to claim his third consecutive Golden Glove award.
