Mikel Arteta was ‘in the garden building a fire’ when Arsenal won Premier League title

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta revealed he was building a fire in his garden when Arsenal's first Premier League title in 22 years was confirmed, unable to watch Manchester City's draw at Bournemouth due to the tension. Arteta had initially gone to the training ground to watch the decisive match with his squad but left 20 minutes before kick-off to be with his family. The title ends three successive runners-up finishes for Arsenal, with Arteta admitting he had doubted whether he was good enough to lead the team to the final step.
