Arsenal set four EPL records after 1-0 win over Burnley, move closer to title

Arsenal defeated Burnley 1-0 at the Emirates Stadium on Monday night, with Kai Havertz scoring the only goal from a header in the first half. According to OptaJoe, the Gunners have now kept 32 clean sheets this season, six more than any other side in Europe’s top-five leagues. Since their 2-1 loss to Manchester City, Arsenal are the only team to win all of their subsequent matches (4/4) and the only side not to have conceded a goal in the Premier League during that span. Additionally, Arsenal have scored a set‑piece goal (excluding penalties) in 19 different Premier League games this season, a joint record for a 38‑game campaign. The victory puts Arsenal five points clear of Manchester City with one match left—against Crystal Palace next weekend—and a win would seal the title.

For Nigerian football fans, especially the large Arsenal following in Lagos, Abuja and elsewhere, this run reinforces bragging rights and fuels excitement around potential title celebrations. A Premier League win would be widely celebrated in viewing parties, boost local merchandise sales, and spark conversations about the team’s defensive solidity and set‑piece threat. The records also provide fresh talking points for fan debates and social media discussions across the country.

The final match against Crystal Palace is scheduled for next weekend. Fans can watch live on SuperSport or via streaming platforms. Will you be tuning in to see if Arsenal clinch the title, or will you celebrate early if they secure the win?
