00:00Arsenal moved a step closer to a first Premier League title in 22 years,
00:07with a tense 1-0 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium in North London.
00:14The performance summed up Arsenal's season, really.
00:18Flashes of brilliant attacking football mixed with moments of anxiety
00:23before ultimately being decided by a deadly set-piece.
00:28After dominating possession and piling pressure onto Burnley in the first half,
00:35the breakthrough finally arrived from a corner.
00:39It was Bukayo Saka who whipped in a superb delivery into the six-yard box,
00:44where Kai Havertz rose above the defence to tower home the decisive header.
00:51Arsenal supporters had hoped for a more emphatic victory
00:55to boost their goal difference heading into the final weekend.
01:00But Burnley frustrated their league leaders for long periods of the game
01:05and kept the contest alive until the closing stages.
01:09Here is what Mikel Arteta had to say after the game.
01:15I knew it was going to be tough.
01:18I think in the first half, we played some of the best football that we've played this season.
01:22We were very unfortunate not to score two or three goals.
01:26And yet, there was a story of the season as well.
01:29We cannot do that.
01:30But make sure that we are extremely efficient defending sets and moments,
01:38not giving anything away to the opponent and winning the three points.
01:42and we'll publish them in our hearts.
01:42We're about to bear a heart.
