Despite both sides creating chances throughout the encounter, Havertz’s header proved enough to seal all three points for Arsenal.
Arsenal were lucky not to have to defend their lead with 10 men for the final quarter. Havertz raked his studs down the calf of Lesley Ugochukwu in a mistimed challenge, per Al Jazeera.
Despite a VAR review, the original decision of a yellow card was not upgraded to red.
If City do pick up all three points against Bournemouth, then it will go down to the final day of the season.
Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace, whilst Manchester City host Aston Villa.
