Arsenal moved seven points clear at the top of the Premier League with an emphatic 2-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor after his mastery of set pieces proved irresistible again on Saturday.
Viktor Gyokeres opened the scoring in the 14th minute from another corner involving Declan Rice and Gabriel, with the Swede heading in from close range.
Arsenal were in cruise control in the 35th minute, this time from open play, when a sweeping counter-attack ended with Rice smashing a header past Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.
BUR vs. ARS – AS IT HAPPENED
Burnley failed to attempt a goal in the first half, and although they offered more threat after the break, Arsenal eased to a seventh consecutive clean sheet in all competitions.
“The first half was exceptional: we scored two goals and gave nothing away,” manager Mikel Arteta said BBC.
«That was the platform. We had to make a few changes and didn’t have much control in the second half. Defending was exceptional again, we didn’t give anything.»
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace swept aside London rivals Brentford in a comfortable 2-0 home win in the Premier League on Saturday, thanks to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s header and a Nathan Collins own goal.
Arsenal have 25 points from 10 games with Bournemouth, which is second on 18 on Sunday. Burnley is 17th with 10 points.
