Patrick Vieira praises Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard
Former Arsenal captain Patrick Vieira analyzed the match live and praised Mikel Arteta’s dynamic winger.
Speaking during the break, the Frenchman highlighted the duo as the main source of inspiration for his dominant yet tense performance at the Emirates Stadium.
Vieira told Sky Sports (via BBC Sport Live):
“The two wingers, Trossard and Saka, are really good and are Arsenal’s best two players so far.
“They created a lot of chances and we have to feed them to create more danger in the second half.”
Saka helped break the deadlock and provided a crucial assist from a well-placed corner kick, allowing Kai Havertz to head in the only goal of the match in the 36th minute.
Alongside Saka, Trossard’s constant movement and deft positioning kept Burnley’s back line under immense pressure.
Arsenal are one win away from historic Premier League victory
A narrow 1-0 victory over the already relegated Clarets means Arsenal have taken a monumental step towards ultimate glory.
With these three points, Manchester City temporarily regained a comfortable five-point cushion at the top of the table.
The Gunners are officially one win away from winning their first Premier League trophy in 22 years after keeping 19 clean sheets during an impressive campaign, a feat they had not achieved since the legendary Invincibles era in 2003-04.
If Manchester City drop points away to Bournemouth, the title race could theoretically be decided as early as Tuesday night.
But if Josep Guardiola’s side win the game, Arteta’s men know that victory on the final day of the season will guarantee the historic title returns to north London, regardless of results elsewhere.
