Arsenal also crowned Brighton with a 1-0 victory, winning two straight victories and rising to 13th place (20 points).
In the 21st minute of the second half against 0-0, Alexandre Lacazette, who stepped on the ground instead of Gabriel Martinelli, finished Bukayo Saka’s pass with a right foot in the center of the penalty area immediately after the input, and became the lead of the final goal.
Brighton, who failed to make up for this goal, fell to 17th place (13 points).
Sheffield United lost to Burnley 0-1 and finished at the bottom (2 draws, 14 losses, 2 points) without ever winning 16 league games this season.
The 16 consecutive draws since the season’s opening are the highest in the EPL along with the Queen’s Park Rangers (7 draws and 9 losses) in the 2012-2013 season. If they do not win the 17th round against Sheffield on January 3, next year, Sheffield will write a new record of disgrace.
