In what can only be described as a sensational run of form, Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a routine 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday. The Gunners are now considered the standout title contender this season, and they wasted no time in opening the scoring with Viktor Gyokeres finding the back of the net after just 14 minutes.
With a commanding seven-point lead over their rivals, Declan Rice doubled Arsenal’s advantage before halftime, essentially sealing the win for Mikel Arteta’s side. Arsenal have been lethal in front of goal this season, with no team in the Premier League scoring more goals from open play.
Burnley, on the other hand, couldn’t match Arsenal’s dominance and suffered their third consecutive defeat in the top flight. While they may have fallen short against the league leaders, Burnley will be looking to bounce back in easier fixtures ahead.
Arsenal’s impressive form has seen them win nine consecutive games across all competitions, making them the most in-form team in Europe. Their defensive solidity has been a key factor in their success, conceding just three goals in the league so far and only one from open play.
Looking ahead, Burnley will face tough tests in the coming weeks, starting with a clash against fellow relegation candidates West Ham. Despite their recent struggles, Burnley have shown promise and will be aiming to secure crucial points to climb out of the relegation zone.
Overall, Arsenal’s dominant display at Turf Moor further solidified their title credentials and showcased their strength both defensively and offensively. With their current form, it remains to be seen if any team can stop the Gunners from claiming the Premier League crown this season.
