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.

Tottenham 3-0 Burnley: Kudus shines with double assist on Spurs debut

Mohammed Kudus marked his Premier League debut for Tottenham with two assists as Thomas Frank’s side eased past Burnley 3-0 in their season opener.

The Ghana midfielder, signed this summer from West Ham, created the breakthrough inside 10 minutes when his run and cross set up Richarlison to finish sharply on the turn.

Kudus was involved again 15 minutes inside the second half, delivering another ball from the byline that Richarlison converted with a stunning scissor kick.

Richarlison, who scored only four league goals last season, left the pitch to a standing ovation when substituted in the 71st minute.
