Gyökeres takes big step at Arsenal - Burnley and title in sight | OneFootball

Arsenal, the team of former Sporting player Viktor Gyökeres, are very close to being crowned English champions. The 1-0 win secured on matchday 37, on Monday night, at home to Burnley, leaves the Gunners very close to winning their 14th Premier League title. If Manchester City fail to win on Tuesday, away to Bournemouth, the title will be confirmed today.

As for the match, 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 powered a precise header home for the Gunners’ winning goal. This was an important goal, as it may have played a decisive role in the English title race.

Viktor Gyökeres, a former player from Sporting’s academy, was not in the home side’s starting lineup. 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 in second place with one game in hand.

Before the end of the season, the English side still have two more matches to play, which could secure them the Premier League and the Champions League.
