Arsenal beats Brentford 1-0, edging toward Premier League crown
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory over Brentford at the Emirates Stadium, with Kai Havertz heading in from a Saka corner in the 37th minute. The win moved Arsenal to 82 points, extending their lead to five points over Manchester City heading into the final two league fixtures.
The result leaves Arsenal needing just one more win in their remaining matches against Crystal Palace to clinch the Premier League title, while City face Bournemouth on Tuesday. The goal marked Arsenal’s 18th corner‑derived strike of the season, a league‑wide record.
Both sides completed the match without further goals, and the Gunners celebrated the crucial three points that bring them within striking distance of ending their title drought since 2004.
