Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years after second-placed Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by a Bournemouth side bound for Europe.
City needed to win at Vitality Stadium to take the title race to the final day. Erling Haaland equalised in added time to cancel out Junior Kroupi's record-breaking 13th top-flight goal of the campaign but the visitors were unable to force a winner as Guardiola was denied a potential fairytale.
The costly stalemate leaves second-placed Manchester City stranded on 78 points, mathematically handing the silverware to the Gunners who now boast an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the table with just one game remaining.
Bournemouth's historic achievement was a fitting way to mark the final home game of head coach Andoni Iraola, who was given a rousing send-off at full-time ahead of being replaced by Marco Rose in the summer.
Following a remarkable 17th league game without loss, the Cherries are guaranteed a top-seven finish and remain in contention for Champions League football ahead of Sunday's season finale at Nottingham Forest.
