Mikel Arteta faced the media after Arsenal’s nervous but vital victory over Burnley, which moves them within touching distance of the Premier League title. But they had to work extremely hard to get it from a Clarets team playing very physically.
It was his calm to start Kai Havertz over Viktor Gyokeres and the German’s open goal appeared to vindicate that choice, heading in from Bukayo Saka’s cross. But the German was perhaps lucky to stay on the field after a red card check was cleared for a pretty reckless challenge.
Many had thought this would be the big win and not set the Emirates on edge but it was anything but. After nearly ten added minutes the Gunners managed finally to get the job done and eyes turn to the south coast.
