Arteta Hails Arsenal's 'Exceptional' First Half as Leaders Sink Burnley
Arsenal extended their Premier League lead with a ninth straight win, scoring 12 set-piece goals this season, highlighted by a dominant first-half performance at Burnley.
- On 01/11/2025, Arsenal beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor, extending their lead at the top of the Premier League and marking their ninth straight win in all competitions.
- Amid a dominant opening half, Arteta said his side started exceptionally well and credited the high press and transitions for creating multiple chances.
- Gyokeres opened the scoring from a corner as Arsenal's set-piece goals tally rose to 12, while Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka twice denied Bukayo Saka during the first half.
- Gyokeres could be doubtful for Tuesday's Champions League game in Prague after a muscle strain, while Burnley remain five points clear of the bottom three despite their fifth league defeat.
- Arteta praised Viktor Gyokeres, saying `I think it was one of the best games that he's played for us` but noted he was taken off with a muscular niggle; despite a second-half dip in standards, the defence remained exceptional.
