The only thing that mattered for Arsenal here was the result.
In beating Burnley, Arsenal have left Manchester City with no room for error now.
Before the match, the Arsenal fans held up a banner that said “three games to make history” – two remaining games in the Premier League, plus the Champions League final against Paris St-Germain in Budapest on 30 May.
As Arsenal have dealt with the title pressure in recent weeks, manager Arteta has said that he has been making some of his big selection decisions based on intuition.
He did that again for this game naming an attacking line-up that contained Kai Havertz, Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka.
All of those players are comfortable in possession and alongside the marauding Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal dominated possession and played like a team who know they are close to making history.
With one league game left and the positive feeling at an all-time high, Arsenal are surely set to end their wait for a major trophy – in what could be a historic season.
