Arsenal took care of business at home against Burnley. A goal late in the first period starting with a Zinchenko pass, followed by a Saka header, and concluded by a Trossard headed finish gave the Gunners a one nil lead at half time. But a fluke of a goal by Burnley allowed them to equalize. It took Arsenal only a couple of minutes to retake the lead thanks to a towering header by Saliba on a Trossard corner. Later, a scissor kick by Zinchenko closed the scoring with a final score of 3-1 that was not made in jeopardy by Fabio Vieira's foolish red card.
