"Viktor Gyökeres and Declan Rice struck first-half goals as Arsenal won 2-0 at Burnley to extend their lead at the Premier League's summit and make it nine straight wins in all competitions. Gyökeres struck the opener from a corner as Mikel Arteta's side also improved on their league-leading set-piece goals tally before Rice's superb header put them 2-0 up at half-time. The Gunners would have led by more at the break but for two saves from goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka, who twice denied Bukayo Saka."
"Saka was then thwarted by an even better save by the Slovakia goalkeeper following a swift turnover in midfield, before Leandro Trossard's goal-bound effort was blocked on the line by Quilindschy Hartman and Axel Tuanzebe. Arsenal struck their second in the 35th minute, breaking upfield after clearing a Burnley throw-in deep in their own half"
"After an uneventful opening, Arsenal took the lead in the 14th minute in trademark style from another expertly-taken corner by Rice. The England midfielder's curling inswinger to the far post was played back across goal by Gabriel and Gyokeres nodded in from close range for his fourth league goal of the season and sixth in 17 appearances for the Gunners in all competitions."
