Kroupi’s goal puts Arsenal on the verge of historic Premier League title
With Manchester City trailing at the break, Arsenal are now exactly 45 minutes away from being crowned Premier League champions.

If the current scoreline holds, Mikel Arteta’s squad will secure a historic domestic crown without even kicking a ball tonight.
Tension is palpable across the country, with millions of fans now watching the clock tick down on a season-defining afternoon.
