Arsenal, the team of former Sporting player Viktor Gyökeres, are very close to being crowned English champions. The 1-0 win in matchday 37, on Monday night, at home to Burnley, leaves the Gunners on the verge of winning their 14th Premier League title. If Manchester City fail to win away to Bournemouth on Tuesday, the title will be sealed today.
As for the match itself, the first and only goal of the game came in the 37th minute. Following a corner kick, Germany’s Kai Havertz rose above everyone else and headed home accurately for the Gunners’ winning goal. This was an important goal, as it may have played a decisive role in securing the English title.
Viktor Gyökeres, a former player from Sporting’s academy, did not start for the home side. The Swedish striker came off the bench in the 73rd minute, replacing Kai Havertz, the standout man of the night in London.
After the win, Mikel Arteta’s side strengthened their lead at the top of the Premier League with 82 points, five more than Manchester City, who are second in the table with one game in hand.
Before the end of the season, the English side still have two more matches to play, which could see them win both the Premier League and the Champions League.
