Arsenal moved one step closer to Premier League glory after securing a hard-fought 1-0 win over Burnley in their second last game of the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n
The narrow victory once again highlighted the defensive strength of Mikel Arteta\u2019s side, with the Gunners keeping another crucial clean sheet at a stage where every point matters in the title race.<\/p>\n
After the final whistle, defender William Saliba revealed the mentality behind Arsenal\u2019s impressive defensive record this season.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone here defends like their lives depend on it,\u201d Saliba said while speaking about the team\u2019s commitment and discipline.<\/p>\n
The French centre-back has been one of Arsenal\u2019s most important players this campaign. Alongside his defensive partners, Saliba has helped turn Arsenal into one of the toughest teams to break down in the league.<\/p>\n
Against Burnley, Arsenal once again showed patience, control, and composure under pressure. The single goal proved enough because their defence refused to allow any openings at the other end.<\/p>\n
The result now leaves Arsenal needing just one more win in their final Premier League game to officially lift the trophy and create history under manager Mikel Arteta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
