Ending any chance of a rival comeback.
The final minutes even had chants of "olé".
? The drought is long...
Arsenal's last PL title was won in the 2003/2004 season, when they made history by winning the trophy without a single defeat.
A feat achieved by "The Invincibles".
The following years were filled with frustrations. And many trophies for a local rival, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
Two clubs that received financial boosts and became protagonists.
Arsenal's great rival during Wenger's era, United still won five titles before entering their own trophy drought.
Arsenal also saw Leicester shock the football world and Liverpool end their own drought.
? Number of PL titles after 2003/04:
Manchester City - 8
Manchester United - 5
Chelsea - 5
Liverpool - 2
Leicester - 1
