Football on Off the Ball. Join in the obsession. Subscribe now at offtheball.com forward slash join. Hello and welcome along to Wednesday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, Arsenal are crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. That's after Manchester City were held to a one-all draw by Bournemouth, which guaranteed European football for the Cherries next season. And Southampton get dumped out of the Championship play-off final, giving Middlesbrough a shot at promotion to the Premier League. But first, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has congratulated Arsenal on winning their first Premier League title in 22 years.
Pep Guardiola 0:54
Mikel, staff, backroom staff, fans for this Premier League will deserve at the same time.

What did Pep Guardiola say about Manchester City's title race?

Pep Guardiola 1:02
My manager Korea, one of the years that we fought the more with incredible things that we could not control and we were there, never give up, give up.
Phil Egan 1:09
City's one-all draw away to Bournemouth last night means they'll be runners-up this season. It's now two seasons in a row City haven't won the league. Junior Kruppi put the Cherries in front before half-time. Erling Haaland scored late in injury time for City, but there wasn't enough time to get a second goal. Guardiola also refused to confirm reports he'll leave at the end of this season and says he still needs to speak to the club's chairman. However, he did say the club will bounce back.
Pep Guardiola 1:34
Next season we'll be back, the City will be back and...

and we will try to bring the team in that sense that competing until the end in the end in the competitions and sometimes you win it happened that's two times sometimes you lose in the last moment and because the opponents are really good Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraiola was asked if his Arsenal counterpart and long-term friend Mikel Arteta now owes him a bottle of champagne would be lovely something I don't know I haven't even checked my phone.

How did Bournemouth secure European football for next season?

Phil Egan 2:01
I should have at least one text message or something. But I think it was not because of this game. Probably they were even going to finish it for sure themselves. And this is how Keith Tracy, Owen Shahan and Ben Symes called the action live in studio last night. They hit the post. I thought it was in the back of the net. And they have scored. It's Erling Haaland in the 95th minute. Oh, squeaky bum time indeed. I mean, for me, in the middle of all of this, Keith, there's a Bournemouth player who tries to do a bicycle kick to clear.

What historic milestones did Mikel Arteta achieve with Arsenal?

Phil Egan 2:32
And I'm like, come on. This is the sort of thing that a Manchester City score now. it kind of feels written in the start. Yeah, you start to feel from an Arsenal point of view, it's just not going to happen. City, are they going to recover possession here in the halfway line? Yes, they will. And it's going to be Savino, I think, is it down the left wing. He's into the Bournemouth box. He's in fresh air. Manchester City are into the box, but Cherky and his connection can't actually divert it towards the goal.

What are Arsenal's plans for the Champions League final against PSG?

Phil Egan 2:58
So Bournemouth once again, doing what Bournemouth do, going on a mad counter-attack. And it's going to be a Manchester City player who mops this up. We are over the 96 minutes. It was supposed to be six minutes of a lot of injury time. We are 25 seconds over that. It is all over. Arsenal have won the Premier League. This is incredible. For the first time since 2004 and the Invincibles, Arsenal have won the Premier League. Manchester City failed to beat Bournemouth tonight despite a late, late equaliser from Erling Haaland and a late opportunity that came thereafter for Reign Cherokee to connect and get the ball on target.

What are Tottenham's chances of avoiding relegation?

Phil Egan 3:34
Bournemouth were not going to be beaten. They were fantastic tonight. They could have stolen an extra goal themselves. But the main story tonight is that they are popping champagne in North London, Keith, because Arsenal's 22-year drought is all over. Yeah, it's brilliant. I was looking for a Bournemouth jersey on the way in tonight and I couldn't find any Bournemouth fans in Dublin that would lend me a jersey to wear. But I tell you, Bournemouth have just got another fan in me.
