Arsenal took a massive step toward ending their 22-year Premier League title drought with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium.
Kai Havertz proved to be the hero, soaring high to head home Bukayo Saka’s corner kick shortly before half-time to secure the decisive goal. The German international was arguably fortunate to escape a red card later in the match following a high challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu.
Mikel Arteta’s side successfully weathered a scrappy second half to claim all three points, limiting the visitors’ attacking threat. The vital win moves the north London outfit onto 82 points, establishing a crucial five-point cushion at the summit of the table.
The Gunners could officially be crowned champions tonight if second-placed Manchester City fail to win away at Bournemouth.
Should City secure a victory on the south coast, Arsenal will still seal the silverware by defeating Crystal Palace on Sunday’s final day.
