Arsenal’s Arteta claims Premier League to step from Guardiola’s shadow

Mikel Arteta has led Arsenal to the Premier League title, ending the club's 22-year wait for the top-flight championship since Arsene Wenger's 'Invincibles' in 2004. The achievement is particularly significant as Arteta, appointed Arsenal manager in 2019 despite having no prior managerial experience, has surpassed his former mentor Pep Guardiola to claim the title. The triumph vindicates Arsenal's gamble on their former club captain, who spent time as Guardiola's assistant at Manchester City before taking charge at the Emirates.
