That single moment pushed Arsenal to the edge of something they have waited over two decades to feel again. The Premier League title is now one win away.

Burnley arrived already relegated. They had nothing to lose. They nearly made Arsenal pay for every nervous touch. Havertz almost threw it all away in the second half with a reckless challenge on Lesley Ugochukwu. The referee pulled out a yellow card. Burnley screamed for red. The Gunners survived.
