Ex-Arsenal manager Emery's reply came only 24 hours after Arsenal's finest hours to round off his 'villa' mannerisms
By Alessandro Schiavone at Besiktas Stadium, Istanbul Less than 24 hours after Mikel Arteta's Arsenal clinched their first Premier League title in 22 years, his Emirates predecessor Unai Emery got his hands on his FIFTH Europa League. The Basque was already the record winner of the competition with four medals to his name, one more than Giovanni Trapattoni who last lifted it back in 1993 in the Juventus dugout. With the nerves jangling, ex-Gunners target Youri Tielemans broug

Life is a bowl of Cherries for joyous Arsenal, as Man City fail spares them last day ordeal
Gunners fans in euphoric mood It has been 22 long years but at last the Gunners have shed the nearly-men tag to land the Premier League title last won by the Invincibles. They are the champions. The fact they have done it without playing will be greatly appreciated by their fans, who have had to witness the torment of many narrow nail biting wins in recent weeks.

No more time for grey areas : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League West Ham United (0) 0 Arsenal (0) 1 Trossard 83 Arsenal are just two wins away from the title.

Gunning for precious points : Picture by @YTJourno Premier League Arsenal (3) 3 Gyokeres 9, 45+3 Saka 40 Fulham (0) 0 Arsenal rediscovered the art of winning comfortably in a performance which seemed more like the ones they were delivering so regularly at the start of the season rather than the stodgy fare of late.

Martin Odegaard's collapse to the ground at full time summed it up. All around the Gunners captain, red shirts seemed overcome by the nervous energy of it all and dropped to the turf in exhaustion and relief. This is proving to be a terrible watch. A recipe for heart failure and misplaced hope if ever there was o
