(Premier League 2023/2024): Highlights Burnley - Arsenal

Immediately downfield for Trosseil. Arsenal will still look to benefit from this one. Rice to Martinelli. Three Arsenal players in the boxes. Erdogan! Well, he didn't need a second invitation to shoot. The Gunners picking up exactly where they left off last time out on the road. And in the opening five minutes, they've made their mark. It's barely nil. Arsenal 1. Lovely footwork by Saka. And he spots the runner, Trosseil, as well, who's through on goal! And Trafford did just enough. He had to keep his focus there and get that one spot on. And the England youngster did just that. Odegaard. Getting the better of Saka. Finding a bit of space on that left-hand side. Still going, the Frenchman. Oh, Ryan beats that one away. Just enough there, the Spaniard. That is a glimpse of what the 19-year-old winger can do. Odegaard. Pumping a ball in this time to Havertz, who's playing the link man really well. Trosseil goes down and it will be a penalty. Assygnon protesting his innocence. He's shown a yellow card for his efforts. Saka up against Trafford. And just does enough for Kaio Saka. He's now scored four goals in his last four games. The first time that he's hit four consecutive Premier League goals in his career. It's barely nil. Arsenal 2. Just need to make sure complacency doesn't creep in. Yeah, just those couple of instances when Ben White on that right-hand side got beat by Odegaard, but yeah, I think it's damage and limitation now. Here's Saka, invited to get forward and to smash home. Kaio Saka netting another brace in the Premier League. And he enjoyed that one. He's absolutely flying. And you know what I said about him mixing his game up? Four months ago, you'd have said he's going to hit that first time with his left foot. That gets blocked. So he's clever. He takes it onto his right and, you know, James Trafford don't really stand a chance there. Here is Martinelli to Trossard again. It's been so clinical in recent weeks. That's wide. For Kivjel. Odegaard screaming for the return pass. Kivjel finds Guy Evans. And there's Trossard again. And this time, the Belgian does get it. Three chances in quick succession. And at the third time, lucky. Leandro Trossard makes it four goals to nil. And Arsenal are continuing their momentum at the start of 2024. Yeah, he finally gets one. It's nothing less than he deserves. Combination play again by Arsenal in those triangles. Nketiah, Havertz, Odegaard. And now Martinelli's invited to join the action. Here he is again. Head down, running straight out. Simeone is in towards Nketiah. Martinelli just powers on the turbo boosters. And it's a good half a chance. Havertz is in behind here. He made the early run. He's done so well. Guy Havertz! It's a lovely goal scored by the German. Well, he loves playing against Fernley. And this is exactly the reason why. Arsenal really running away a bit. Fernley nil, Arsenal five. Oh, stop it, Guy Havertz. That run, he's just drifted into the fallback position. And I just think I saw a little nutmeg on the way in as well as he checks across. And it's a lovely finish. Fofana. And he gets into the Arsenal penalty area. There's his strike. Active wide for a Burnley corner. You can see the pain etched on his face. Look, the hamstrings are tightening up. Everything's tightening up. But he's still put the effort in. It's a good attempt. Stolen back from Jorginho. Now Odegaard's waiting for the run. And Smith-Rowe ducked away and does win the free kick. Much to the amusement of Josh Brownhill. It will be about this man here, Arsenal's captain. Yeah, they just don't want the goalkeeper to see the ball. Odegaard. Plenty of sight of that one. But Arsenal fly into Champions League action in midweek with another big win on the road. And it was never in doubt for Mikel Arteta's side. It finishes here, Burnley 0, Arsenal 5.
