Arsenal F.C. moved closer to winning the Premier League title after a 1-0 victory over relegated Burnley F.C. at the Emirates Stadium.
Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the match to give Arsenal an important win in the title race.
The German forward had a difficult evening after escaping a red card following a VAR review. Referee officials decided his late challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu deserved only a yellow card.
The victory moved Arsenal five points clear of second-placed Manchester City F.C., although Pep Guardiola’s side still have two matches to play, starting with Tuesday’s game against AFC Bournemouth.
If Manchester City fail to win, Arsenal will be confirmed as Premier League champions.
Manager Mikel Arteta selected an attacking line-up against Burnley, and Arsenal controlled the game from the beginning.
Before the goal, Leandro Trossard struck the post with a strong effort, while Bukayo Saka created danger with an excellent cross after beating defender Lucas Pires.
Arsenal finally scored in the 37th minute when Havertz headed home from a Saka corner kick.
The win leaves Arsenal close to their first Premier League title in 22 years. Even if Manchester City beat Bournemouth, Arsenal can still secure the title with victory over Crystal Palace F.C. on Sunday.
