"Arsenal is on the brink of ending a 22-year wait to win the Premier League after beating Burnley 1-0 on Tuesday AEST to open up a five-point lead at the top. Kai Havertz headed in the only goal but was also lucky to avoid a second-half red card that could swung the title race back in Manchester City's favour. The Gunners could be crowned champions as early as Wednesday AEST should City fail to win at Bournemouth."
"Even if City do end the Cherries' 16-game unbeaten run and beat Aston Villa, Arsenal will secure the title with victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday. However, the narrow margin of victory against a Burnley side that have long since been relegated does offer City hope. An Arsenal draw at Selhurst Park would allow City to snatch the title on goal difference if Pep Guardiola's team win their final two matches."
"Roared on by an expectant capacity crowd in their final home game of the season, Arsenal were tipped to put the Clarets to the sword with ease. Burnley have taken just two points from their last 10 matches but made Mikel Arteta's men work for the three points on another nervy night at the Emirates. Leandro Trossard struck the post from the edge of the area before Bukayo Saka saw a penalty appeal waived away as he attempted to turn in Havertz's low cross."
"Arsenal were forced to rely on their set piece threat once more to prise Burnley open. Havertz rose highest to power in Saka's delivery on 37 minutes as they scored from a corner for the 18th time in the league this season. Yet the floodgates did not open and Arsenal were very fortunate not to have to defend their lead"
Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0 to end a 22-year wait to win the Premier League, taking a five-point lead at the top. Kai Havertz scored the only goal with a header, while also avoiding a second-half red card that could have shifted the title race toward Manchester City. Arsenal could be crowned champions as early as Wednesday if City fail to win at Bournemouth. Even if City beat Aston Villa, Arsenal would still secure the title with a win at Crystal Palace on Sunday. A draw for Arsenal at Selhurst Park could allow City to win on goal difference if they win their final two matches. Arsenal’s narrow win came despite early chances, including a Trossard shot hitting the post and a penalty appeal involving Bukayo Saka. The decisive goal came from a corner, with Havertz rising highest from Saka’s delivery.
