Premier League leaders Arsenal marched to a seventh consecutive win across all competitions, comfortably beating Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor to extend their commanding lead at the top of the Premier League table to seven points.
Goals from Viktor Gyökeres and Declan Rice—the latter arriving from a set-piece—sealed a professional performance.
However, the victory was marred by injury concerns, as both goalscorer Gyökeres and midfielder Martin Zubimendi were forced off and will require assessment.
Despite these fresh worries, Mikel Arteta’s side continues to display the defensive solidity and unwavering focus that positions them as clear title favourites, having not conceded from open play in their last eight matches.
