Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta doubted whether he could take his side over the line as he celebrated his Premier League title win at Selhurst Park.

The Gunners were already confirmed champions after Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth in midweek, and they ended the season with a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace, with goals from Gabriel Jesus and Noni Madueke.

Jean-Philippe Mateta pulled a goal back, but Arteta's men brought the season to a close with their fifth straight league win.

Arsenal had finished second in three consecutive campaigns, but they ended up finishing seven points clear of Manchester City this time around on 85 points, and Arteta conceded there were times his faith wavered.

"There were doubts," Arteta told Sky Sports.

"It was understanding that I was able to take them this far [to second place] but maybe someone else has to come and do the final job.

"But thank god we have done it! I feel a lot of joy and a little bit of belief.

"Yes, [I doubted myself]. It is part of the job. There are many things that are out of my control and that is why you need the best people around you.

"We have had difficult moments along the way, but it is all worth it when you see that kind of reaction.

"I think we showed an incredible connection, commitment and courage.

"Everything around us has fuelled our desire to do it."

Outgoing Palace boss Oliver Glasner insisted that the "best was still to come" as he completed his final league match in charge.

Palace finished the season in 15th place, their lowest Premier League finish since 2015-16, while only Burnley (38) and Wolves (27) scored fewer goals in the top flight this season.

However, they are just one victory away from winning trophies in back-to-back seasons as they face Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on Wednesday,

Victory would ensure qualification for the Europa League, and Glasner’s full attention now turns to the final.

Asked whether the final home match was a fitting way to end, the Austrian told BBC Sport: "I think it was okay. For me the best is still to come.

"The biggest achievement for me is not the trophy, but giving people belief in you, is amazing.

"[Winning the Conference League] would be really good!"
