From injury-time winners to statement performances, we’ve picked out what we consider to be the eight most important games in Arsenal’s 2025-26 Premier League title-winning campaign.
Every win earns you three points. But some wins carry far more weight than others.
Arsenal won 25 games ahead of being crowned Premier League champions in 2025-26. Some of those were dominant displays where they blew away their opponents; some were dramatic comebacks or last-minute winners to keep momentum alive; others were scrappy victories that champions sometimes simply need to find.
All of them mattered. But we’ve done our best to pick out the eight games that proved most important in Arsenal finally ending their 22-year wait for a Premier League title.
Arsenal 1-1 Manchester City – 21 September 2025
We begin with a game that Arsenal didn’t even win.
The two teams that proved to be the main protagonists in the title race met at the Emirates Stadium in September, with Arsenal rescuing what would prove to be a hugely significant point thanks to Gabriel Magalhães powered in Bukayo Saka converted a second-half penalty in what was Arteta’s 300th game in charge of Arsenal.
But the bigger significance arrived later that evening. Liverpool lost 2-1 away to Chelsea, meaning Arsenal ended Matchday 7 top of the Premier League table.
It was the moment the Opta supercomputer first made Arsenal title favourites, a position they would hold for the remainder of the campaign.
Arsenal 2-1 Wolves – 13 December 2025
One of those games where you simply have to find a way.
Arsenal produced a really laboured performance against bottom-side Wolves in early December, failing to register a single shot on target in the first half of a Premier League home game for the first time since December 2024 against Manchester United.
The second half was not much better, but again, it was a set-piece that put them ahead. Their opener arrived in fortunate fashion, with Saka’s deep corner bouncing off the post before ricocheting in off Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone for an own goal.
That appeared likely to be enough for an ugly win until Tolu Arokodare headed in a dramatic equaliser in the 90th minute.
Arsenal responded immediately. Summoning one final attack, they forced another own goal as Yerson Mosquera headed into his own net under pressure from Gabriel Jesus.
It was a game Arsenal should have won comfortably but instead nearly threw away. In previous seasons, it might have become one of those damaging evenings that derail title bids.
Arsenal 4-1 Aston Villa: 30 December 2025
Coming into this match, Arsenal had lost just two of their 27 competitive matches in 2025-26 – one of those was against Aston Villa at Villa Park in the Premier League just over three weeks before this return clash.Former Gunners manager Unai Emery had led his Villa side to 11 successive victories in all competitions, equalling a club record. A 12th win in a row in this clash would have seen Villa draw level on points with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, and the first half was a cagey affair with the two teams heading into the half-time break level at 0-0.Arteta’s half-time team talk must have had an effect, as his side were 2-0 up inside the opening seven minutes of the second half thanks to goals from Gabriel and Max Dowman became the youngest goalscorer in Premier League history. At 16 years and 73 days old, he smashed the previous record by 197 days after he raced away to take advantage of an empty net deep in stoppage time.
The late victory was made even more important when in the hours following this clash in north London, Manchester City failed to defeat West Ham in the late kick-off in east London, drawing 1-1.
West Ham 0-1 Arsenal: 10 May 2026
After City had comfortably dispatched Brentford 3-0 a day earlier, Arsenal knew they couldn’t afford to slip up against West Ham.
The Hammers needed the points themselves, sitting in the relegation zone just a point behind Tottenham. They looked like they were going to win a point too, until
