Arsenal clinch 2025-26 Premier League, David Raya shines
Arsenal secured the Premier League title for the 2025‑26 season, their first league triumph since the Invincibles era. The championship was sealed with consistent performances throughout the campaign.
Mid‑fielder Declan Rice was highlighted as a standout figure in the title‑winning side. His influence in midfield contributed to the team's defensive solidity and transition play.
The defensive unit as a whole received praise for limiting opponents and maintaining clean sheets. Their collective effort formed the foundation of Arsenal’s successful campaign.
Goalkeeper David Raya emerged as a key contributor, delivering decisive saves. He denied Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha early in the season and produced an extraordinary stop against Mateus Fernandes of West Ham.
Raya’s consistency earned him a third consecutive Golden Glove award for the most clean sheets in the division. His performances were described as repeatedly rescuing the team.
Player‑by‑player ratings reflected the impact of Rice, Raya and the defence, placing them among the highest‑rated Arsenal players of the season. The ratings underscored their importance in securing the title.
Looking ahead, Arsenal will aim to defend the crown and compete in the upcoming Champions League group stage. The squad’s core will look to build on the momentum of the title‑winning season.
