Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League with a commanding 2-0 victory over Burnley. Mikel Arteta's side showed their determination to maintain their winning streak at Turf Moor. The Londoners displayed their signature style, breaking down Burnley's well-organized defense following a corner kick. Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring with his sixth goal of the season after Gabriel Magalhães returned the ball into the danger area.
Arsenal left no room for their opponents. Gabriel rose highest to clear Kyle Walker's long throw, and the Gunners launched a lightning-fast counterattack that resulted in a second goal. A superb diagonal pass from Gyökeres found Leandro Trossard on the left flank, who crossed to Declan Rice, and he headed the ball past Martin Dúbravka.
Although Gyökeres was substituted at halftime, Arsenal controlled the game until the end. Scoring opportunities were scarce for both sides, but the Gunners held onto their victory. Late in the match, substitute Marcus Edwards struck the post with a brilliant free-kick, but he couldn't break Arsenal's streak of clean sheets.
Arteta's team now boasts seven consecutive wins across all competitions without conceding a goal and remains unbeaten in their last 12 matches. They lead the standings by a substantial seven points.
Analysis: Arsenal continues to showcase impressive form and defensive stability. Under Arteta's leadership, the team appears confident and well-organized, making them serious contenders for the title this season.
