Arsenal appear to have found their new Bukayo Saka

So, now it’s complete. Arsenal became Premier League champions after 22 years of trying. On a sunny evening at Selhurst Park, the Gunners lifted the trophy in front of their adoring supporters.

It was a magical moment. Bukayo Saka was grinning from ear to ear and Declan Rice couldn’t stop grinning. Gabrielle couldn’t stop dancing and jiving with William Saliba. Mikel Arteta? Yes, he couldn’t stop hugging his family.

There were magical moments everywhere I looked. Max Dauman, a young boy taking his GCSEs, became the youngest Premier League winner in history.

Gabriel Jesus has won his fifth Premier League winners’ medal. But for most of this team, this was the first major trophy of their careers. Not bad for chasing away monkeys, right?

In six days time they will be back in the Champions League, but for now let’s celebrate that Arsenal have had arguably their best season in over 20 years.

How Arsenal wrapped up the title with Crystal Palace

This season’s Premier League has been stressful. There were also many emotional moments. Who can forget Gabriel’s second-half header at St James’ Park? What do you think of Eberechi Eze’s North London derby hat-trick? Leandro Trossard’s last-gasp victory against West Ham a few weeks ago wasn’t half bad either.

All these moments meant Arsenal could come home to Crystal Palace and blow the momentum away. The match had a typical end-of-season feel, with Arteta in full rotation mode to protect his players ahead of next weekend’s Champions League final, and Palace also conserving their side for a European showdown.

Gabriel Jesus was given a rare start, possibly his last game in Arsenal colors before leaving in the summer, and could have scored a hat-trick.

The Brazilian hit the post early on, but a one-on-one was saved by Dean Henderson, who eventually broke the deadlock. He slipped in behind, raced onto Gabriel Martinelli’s pass and beat the keeper at his near post.

Arsenal held their breath and finally scored their second goal after the break. Substitute Kai Havertz headed a corner kick at the puck post back into the danger area, where Noni Maduke was waiting to score. It was his third league goal of the entire season, but his first goal was spectacular.

The Gunners looked in danger late on, with Jean-Philippe Mateta finding the back of the net and Yeremi Pino having an injury-time equalizer canceled out. Yet, while the celebrations were ready and waiting, Arteta’s men held out one last time.

Manchester City’s loss to Aston Villa in Josep Guardiola’s last game as manager means the Londoners have moved to the top of the table with a seven-point difference. No one can say that they are not qualified to do so.

People like Saka and Gabriel have been working as slaves without reward for years, but for them they feel this is just the beginning. The same can be said of a certain Mr. Dauman.

Arsenal’s new Saka makes history against Crystal Palace

Everywhere you look this season, Dauman continues to make history.

In the early hours of Wednesday morning, the 16-year-old was spotted celebrating with other players from his team at London’s Tape nightclub. A few days later, he missed training for his GSCE exam.

Now, on Sunday afternoon, he became the youngest player in Premier League history to start a game, at 16 years and 144 days old.

A few hours later, he held the title aloft in front of the away fans. In the process, he became the youngest player to win England’s top flight since its re-creation in 1992.

But Dauman’s trophy lifts and medals are more than just tokens. He played an important role this season. I’ll never forget that goal against Everton in March.

He swung past the Toffees defense and passed the ball into an empty net on his way to becoming the division’s youngest-ever scorer. It was a pivotal moment in the title race, and one that undoubtedly propelled the team to new heights this season.

Although his performance against Palace on the final weekend of the season wasn’t great, he was still a part of the team that won the title as a 16-year-old. The teenager’s influence was remarkable.

Dauman has played much of his career on the right, but this weekend he was in midfield as a number 10. As always, the performance was excellent and the youngster played a key role in the opening goal.

The ball was played towards his feet, but he sent a nice flick pass into the path of Martinelli, who set Jesus free. It was a magical moment, one we’ve grown accustomed to seeing from this Hail-Ending Wonder Kid throughout the season.

At the end of the game, Dauman was photographed with Saka and fellow Hale Enders holding up the trophy. It was a wonderful, wonderful symbol. At the start of Arteta’s reign, it was another academy graduate who came to his rescue. slope.

Now Arteta and Arsenal have another star of the future in the form of another left-footed wonderkid with the world at his feet in Doman. A player who looks ready to win multiple Premier League titles, a player who will be at the forefront of the second phase of the project. creating a dynasty.

Like Saka, he is a boy who doesn’t have an ego and just loves soccer. Opposition players are drawn to him and often end up following his lead. He is expected to play a big role in Arsenal’s future success.
