League leaders defeat Burnley to close in on prize

Manchester City must win to keep race alive
Mikel Arteta admitted he will turn into the “biggest ever” Bournemouth fan on Tuesday night after Arsenal inched closer to their first Premier League title since 2004 with a narrow win over Burnley.
Kai Havertz’s first Premier League goal at home since last February – Arsenal’s record-extending 18th goal from a corner – was enough to see off a spirited Burnley side relegated weeks ago, although the Germany striker was lucky not to be shown a red card for catching Lesley Ugochukwu with his studs. The victory means that Manchester City must overcome Champions League-chasing Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium to take the title race to the final day, with both contenders now level on goal difference.
