The final blast of Anthony Taylor's whistle and resigned look on the face of Pep Guardiola as Manchester City drew at Bournemouth was the cue for massive Arsenal title celebrations.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was in Downing Street and Guardiola was winding down his playing career in Qatar the last time Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions – the 2003-04 'Invincibles' when Arsene Wenger's side went through the campaign unbeaten.
There was no perfect record this time – Arsenal would lose five games on the way to a 14th domestic title – but that did not diminish the achievement of Mikel Arteta and his players after three successive runner-up finishes.
