Arsenal Ends 20-Year Wait With 2004 Premier League Title — Did Arsenal Win

Did Arsenal win? Yes. Arsenal lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2004, ending a wait that stretched across two decades and sending supporters into the streets outside Emirates Stadium. The celebrations did not stay in north London; they spread to Nairobi, Addis Ababa and Nigerian churches.

Emirates Stadium After The League

People gathered outside Emirates Stadium after the league was confirmed, then returned a few days later with flares and fireworks. A London parade was expected to dwarf those earlier scenes, turning the title into a citywide event rather than a single-night celebration.

Arsenal’s response on the pitch also carried a clear visual. Bukayo Saka appeared in celebratory images at Selhurst Park, while Eberechi Eze, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Noni Madueke and Jurrïen Timber were pictured in front of away supporters. Ian Wright was there to watch the festivities unfold.

Black Arsenal Supporters

The win lands differently because Arsenal kept a loyal base among Black fans even as the club went more than two decades without English football’s top prize. That long gap never erased the connection, and the images around this title run showed it again.

It is where they signed Eberechi Eze and former player – now national treasure – Ian Wright, and the club’s supporters list stretches well beyond the stadium. Spike Lee led celebrations in Brooklyn, while Daniel Kaluuya, Idris Elba, 21 Savage and Lady Lola Young are among the named Arsenal supporters tied to that wider following.

Saka’s No 7 shirt, the presence of players with west African and Caribbean roots in Eze and Timber, and the reaction across African cities all point to the same result: Arsenal did not just end a title drought. It reclaimed a trophy that resonated far beyond one parade in London.
