LONDON (AP) \u2014 Arsenal closed in on a first Premier League title in 22 years by seeing out a tense 1-0 win over Burnley on Monday in its penultimate game of the campaign, thanks to Kai Havertz\u2019s first-half goal. <\/p>\n

The result means second-placed Manchester City must end Bournemouth\u2019s 16-game unbeaten run on Tuesday to take the title fight into the final weekend. Even so, Arsenal will be crowned champion if it beats Crystal Palace away on Sunday.<\/p>\n

It would be Arsenal\u2019s first league title since 2004, when the \u201cInvincibles\u201d went unbeaten under Arsene Wenger.<\/p>\n

Current manager Mikel Arteta is two wins away from delivering the club\u2019s greatest ever season as Arsenal also plays Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final on May 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been an amazing season so far. We\u2019ve got one big one left here (in the league) and then the Champions League final,\u201d Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard told the Emirates crowd in an on-field interview. \u201cJust a little bit to go now and we\u2019re going to give it all. We have to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fittingly, the goal against already relegated Burnley came from a corner \u2014 the source of so many crucial Arsenal goals this season \u2014 as Havertz rose highest to head in a delivery from Bukayo Saka in the 37th.<\/p>\n

Havertz was fortunate not to be sent off when he received only a yellow card in the 67th for a lunging studs-up tackle from behind on Lesley Ugochukwu, a decision that was upheld after a VAR review.<\/p>\n

While Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya never had a save to make against a toothless Burnley side, the lead never felt completely comfortable as a second goal never came for the host.<\/p>\n

But Arsenal held on through nearly 10 minutes of added time to take another step toward ending its decades-long title drought. <\/p>\n
