"The Gunners have reached such a level of expertise, they even scored from a Burnley long throw. Headers from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice were the difference at Turf Moor on what was a straightforward afternoon in Lancashire for Arsenal. The hosts failed to have a shot on target as Arsenal secured a fifth straight Premier League victory, the past four without conceding."
"Set piece again ole ole, was the chant ringing out from the away end after a tough start against a high-energy Burnley side. Rice swung the corner to the back post from where Gabriel Magalhaes knocked the ball back to the centre of the goal and Gyokeres nodded in from a yard for Arsenal's 12th set-piece goal in the Premier League this season. From this point, Arsenal dominated possession. Every corner award resulted in a roar from the travelling fans and a tense moment of silence from the majority at Turf Moor, worried about what would come."
