Arsenal are one win away from the Premier League title and could even be crowned before the final day, after edging out Burnley on Monday.
Arsenal are on the brink of becoming Premier League champions after Bukayo Saka‘s inswinging corner being powered home by Havertz.
The Germany international was arguably fortunate not to receive his marching orders in the second half, though, after he lunged in recklessly on Eberechi Eze volley bouncing onto the crossbar – via a slight touch from Max Weiss – Arsenal never truly went close to a second goal, teeing up a tense finish.
Burnley had a couple of chances to flood Arsenal’s area throughout seven minutes of second-half stoppage time, but they could not find the required quality in the final third as the Gunners took another huge step towards the title.
They will be crowned champions on Tuesday if Manchester City fail to win at Bournemouth, but even if Pep Guardiola’s side are victorious, a win at Crystal Palace on Sunday would clinch the title.
It certainly wasn’t pretty, but Arteta will not care one bit.
Arsenal have now won eight Premier League matches by a 1-0 scoreline this season, their second-most in a single campaign, after posting nine 1-0 wins in 1998-99.
Arsenal have also scored from a set-piece in 19 of their 37 Premier League matches this campaign (excluding penalties).
That is a joint-record for any team in a single season, alongside Aston Villa and Manchester United, both in 2007-08, and Blackburn Rovers in 2011-12.
The Gunners’ 32 clean sheets in all competitions, meanwhile, are more than any other team from Europe’s top five leagues – they have only kept more in 1970-71 (37) and 1979-80 (33).
