Arsenal have one hand on their first Premier League title in 22 years following a 1-0 win against Burnley at the Emirates Stadium. Kai Havertz headed Arsenal in front from a corner with nine minutes of the first half remaining before he was fortunate to escape a red card for a rash tackle midway through the second.
The victory takes Mikel Arteta’s players five points clear of Manchester City who must now win at Bournemouth on Tuesday night to take the title race to the final day. Should Pep Guardiola’s side fail to win at the Vitality Stadium – where Bournemouth have not lost a game in the eight matches since their 3-2 defeat to Arsenal at the turn of the year – then the Gunners will celebrate the title with a game to spare.
Arsenal looked to have blown their bid to claim a first championship since Arsene Wenger oversaw the unbeaten ‘Invincibles’ to glory in 2004 following a 2-1 defeat at rivals City on April 19. But the Gunners, runners-up in the league for the past three seasons, have bounced back by winning their next four without conceding, and are now in pole position to abolish their ‘nearly men’ tags, and earn Arteta the second trophy of his near seven-year tenure.
