Arsenal on brink of first Premier League title in 22 years after Burnley win

Arsenal have never been closer to a Premier League title under Mikel Arteta’s management.

The Gunners’ 1-0 win over Burnley left them close to ending their 22-year wait for the league crown – and that dream could be realised as early as Tuesday.

Anything but a Manchester City win at Bournemouth would hand Arsenal the title before Sunday’s league finale and ensure Arteta’s side finally shed their nearly-men tag after three straight second-place finishes, reports the BBC.

The victory over Burnley has put Arsenal in position to clinch the championship ahead of the final round of fixtures.

“Arsenal have never been closer to a Premier League title under Mikel Arteta’s management,” the report said.

Even a City win on Tuesday would leave Arsenal just needing victory at Crystal Palace on Sunday to clinch the title.

“On a night when reports spread that Pep Guardiola’s City reign was coming to an end, Arsenal fans will believe they are about to welcome in their own new era,” the report said.

The result means Arsenal control their destiny going into the final week of the campaign.

All eyes now turn to Manchester City’s match at Bournemouth and Arsenal’s trip to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
