Gyokeres, Rice shine as Arsenal cruise past Burnley

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points with a 2-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday.

It was business as usual for Mikel Arteta’s side, who dominated from start to finish at Turf Moor.

Early control and set-piece precision

After Bukayo Saka missed a clear chance early on, Viktor Gyokeres broke the deadlock in the 14th minute, tapping in from close range after Declan Rice’s pinpoint corner.

It marked Arsenal’s eighth set-piece goal in their opening 10 league matches, underlining their growing threat from dead-ball situations.

Rice turned scorer just past the half-hour mark, finishing off a slick counter-attack to make it 2-0 and effectively kill the game before halftime.
