Arsenal Crowned Premier League Champions In Historic Title Triumph.
Arsenal have been crowned champions of the 2025/26 Premier League season after Manchester City were held to a costly draw against Bournemouth, bringing an end to the Gunners’ 22-year wait for an English top-flight title.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The result at the Vitality Stadium confirmed Mikel Arteta’s side as champions, giving them an unassailable lead at the top of the table and triggering celebrations among players, staff, and fans across North London.
Arsenal had moved within touching distance of the title following a narrow 1-0 win over Burnley on Monday, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal from a Bukayo Saka corner.
That victory put the Gunners five points clear of Manchester City, leaving Pep Guardiola’s men needing a win against Bournemouth to keep the title race alive until the final day of the season.
However, City’s failure to secure all three points on the South Coast officially sealed Arsenal’s triumph before their final league match against Crystal Palace.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, extended their impressive unbeaten run to 17 league games, a streak that secured European qualification for the first time in their history.
Arsenal’s victory marks their first Premier League title since the legendary 2003/04 “Invincibles” season under Arsène Wenger, when they completed the league campaign unbeaten.

THE MILLION-DOLLAR HAND: Maradona’s Infamous ‘Hand Of God’ Match Ball Sells For £2.5m At Auction.
The football utilized by Diego Maradona to score his controversial “Hand of God” goal against England during the 1986 World Cup has been auctioned in the United States for £2.5m.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The Adidas Azteca ball brought in $3.3m via Heritage Auctions on Saturday, which fell short of the estimated £7.3m ($10m) projection from experts.
Key details of the historic item and match include:
-
The Match: The ball was in play for the entirety of Argentina’s 2-1 quarter-final victory against England at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
-
The Infamous Goal: Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals, with his first involving him punching the ball past England goalkeeper Peter Shilton—an infraction missed by the referee. Post-match, Maradona famously attributed it to “a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God”.
-
Goal of the Century: Minutes later, the Argentina captain scored a legendary solo goal, weaving past five outfield players and rounding Shilton.
-
Prior Ownership: The ball was kept for over three decades by Tunisian referee Ali Bin Nasser, who officiated the match. He initially sold it in 2022 for £1.74m ($2.37m), though a subsequent attempt to sell it in 2023 did not meet the reserve price.

Related Memorabilia: This auction follows the 2022 sale of Maradona’s Argentina shirt from the same match, which fetched £7.1m.
