Arsenal edge closer to Premier League title with 1-0 win over Burnley. Kai Havertz scored the only goal but narrowly avoided a red card.
The Gunners now lead by five points at the top of the table. They could be crowned champions as early as Tuesday if Manchester City fail to secure victory against Bournemouth.
With potential for more twists in the title race, Pep Guardiola’s future with City is uncertain following reports he may leave after his decade-long tenure.
Arsenal fans packed the stadium for their final home game of the season. Despite Burnley’s poor recent form, they posed a tougher challenge than expected at the Emirates.
Leandro Trossard hit the post and Bukayo Saka had a penalty appeal dismissed. Havertz scored from a corner in what was Arsenal’s 18th league win this season.
Despite Ugochukwu receiving a yellow card, it wasn’t upgraded to red by VAR. The decision spared Arsenal from having to defend with 10 men for the final quarter.
Arsenal have not conceded since their loss to City last month and have maintained a solid defensive record throughout the season.
