Arsenal keeping up with City

Leandro Trossard, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko all scored as Arsenal brushed away Burnley's valiant attempt to upset Mikel Arteta's team in their Premier League clash on Saturday evening.

Although Vincent Kompany's Clarets shockingly restored parity early in the second half following Trossard's opening goal, it was no more than a blip that the north London team overcame in style. This time, there were no shocking VAR decisions, tensions and arguments - for a change!

Good goals from the immense Saliba and an acrobatic volley from Zinchenko ensured a relaxed ending of the game at the Emirates.

The first half concluded with a dramatic turn of events as Leandro Trossard scored a crucial goal for Arsenal. A well-placed header from very close range found the top left corner, putting Arsenal in the lead.

Burnley didn't back down, and Josh Brownhill levelled the score with a left-footed shot from the centre of the box, finding the bottom left corner. Kompany hoped it was a sign of his team's comeback, but it turned out to be just a delay of the inevitable.

The see-saw battle continued as defender William Saliba restored Arsenal's lead with a header from very close range. Leandro Trossard provided the assist with a well-placed cross following a corner. Just when it seemed like the first half was winding down, Arsenal extended their lead with a goal from Oleksandr Zinchenko. A left-footed shot from the centre of the box found the top right corner.

Fabio Vieira received a late red card for a reckless challenge. Still, there was no time for Burnley to mount an attempted comeback.
