From near-misses to glory, Arsenal fan says title and scenes of celebration feel surreal

LONDON: Isaiah Browne, a 20-year-old Arsenal supporter ‌who has known only recent near-misses, finally witnessed the club’s first Premier League title in 22 years — a triumph and wave of celebration that he said felt like a dream.

Arsenal, dominant for most of the season, were crowned champions on Tuesday without kicking a ball after second-placed Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth.

While the players gathered at their training ground to watch the match — later celebrating wildly in a video shared on social media — thousands of fans poured into the streets of north London.

Browne was among them, sprinting to the Emirates Stadium as ‌jubilant scenes unfolded ‌outside.
