Arsenal on brink of first Premier League title in 22 years

Arsenal moved to the brink of their first Premier League title in 22 years with a 1-0 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium on May 18, 2026. Kai Havertz scored the only goal with a header from a corner with nine minutes remaining in the first half, though he narrowly avoided a red card for a rash tackle in the second half. The win put Mikel Arteta's side five points clear of Manchester City, who must now win their remaining matches to keep their title hopes alive.
