For most of the first half, the Gunners were having a hard time breaking down the disciplined Clarets side, but at the stroke of half-time, Leandro Trossard bravely nodded in at the far post for Arsenal’s 1,000th goal at Emirates Stadium.
In the second half, Burnley equalized after Gabriel deflected Josh Brownhill’s low shot into the net. However, the visitors were level for just three minutes before William Saliba headed into Trossard’s corner from point-blank range.
After Dara O’Shea inadvertently steered another Trossard corner onto the crossbar, finished Oleksandr Zinchenko the scoring with an acrobatic finish into the top corner.
After the second half substitute Fabio Vieira was shown a straight red card for a studs-up challenge on Brownhill, finished the game with Arsenal with 10 men, but the Gunners held on comfortably.
Burnley bleibt in der Relegationszone, während Arsenal City in der Führung beim Torverhältnis überholen, obwohl das Team von Pep Guardiola ihre Führung von drei Punkten wiederherstellen kann, wenn sie gegen Chelsea gewinnen.

Die Reaktion auf Arsenal gegen Burnley und die restlichen Spiele der Premier League am Samstag.
Trossard blockiert Arsenal.
Arsenal has had a lot of injury problems in recent weeks, but Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu, who both suffered knocks in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Sevilla, were passed fit to start.
In the early 20 minutes, Saka was very active. His rising effort from the edge of the area tipped onto the crossbar by Clarets goalkeeper James Trafford.
Kai Havertz, der einen weiteren frustrierenden Abend erlebte, hätte besser abschneiden sollen, nachdem er einen Corner von Saka erzielt hatte, und Trossard hatte einen starken Drive, der von Trafford gestoppt wurde, aber der Belgier machte keine Fehler, als Saka aufstieg, um eine Zinchenko-Drehung in seinen Weg zu lenken.
Since the 2006-07 season are the Gunners only the third team in the Premier League to score 1,000 goals at a venue, following Manchester City (1,138 at Etihad Stadium) and Chelsea (1,028 at Stamford Bridge).
The home side thought Brownhill’s equaliser in the second half should have been banned for a foul on Tomiyasu by Luca Koleosho during the build-up. However, they didn’t have to wait long to restore their advantage as Saliba was left unmarked to nod home his first of the campaign.
When Vieira was dismissed for a careless challenge on Brownhill, Arteta and his players did not complain. However, Burnley’s chances of salvaging a point were all but ended by Zinchenko’s scissor kick nine minutes earlier.
Clarets zeigen Auseinandersetzungen, aber defensive Bedenken bleiben.
Burnley, coached by Vincent Kompany, has now lost six consecutive games since winning their first win of the season at Luton at the beginning of October, but they were very much in the game before Trossard’s 45th-minute opening goal.
In einer tiefen Position und mit vielen Verteidigern konnten die Clarets Arsenals Angriff für den Großteil der ersten Halbzeit unterdrücken und könnten sogar das Tor selbst erzielen.
Johann Berg Gudmundsson was denied by the Arsenal goalkeeper after striding clear of the Gunners’ backline, while Zeki Amdouni had a rasping long-range drive parried away by David Raya.
Brownhill’s goal at the beginning of the second half wasn’t what they deserved, but Kompany will be very disappointed with the way Arsenal’s goal went, as Saliba was left unmarked to head home from almost under the crossbar.
Einer der wenigen Vorteile für Burnley war, dass der Angreifer Michael Obafemi sein erstes Spiel der Saison machte, nachdem er von einer langen Hamstringverletzung geheilt war und nur noch fünf Minuten übrig hatte.
