The decisive moment came in the first half when Kai Havertz found the back of the net with a header after connecting with a delivery from Bukayo Saka.
Despite creating more opportunities during the game, Arsenal were unable to extend their lead, but the single goal proved enough to hand Mikel Arteta’s side all three points in front of their home supporters.
The victory pushed the Gunners to 82 points on the league table, placing them five points ahead of defending champions Manchester City F.C., who are scheduled to play on Wednesday.
Arsenal’s title hopes now depend heavily on City’s result against AFC Bournemouth. If Pep Guardiola’s men fail to win the match, Arsenal will officially be crowned Premier League champions.
However, if Manchester City secure victory, Arsenal would then need to defeat Crystal Palace F.C. on the final day of the season to seal the title race.
