The first half was an impressive show of dominance from the league leaders, preventing their hosts from having a shot of any kind in the opening 45 minutes. Arsenal took the lead on 14 minutes, Viktor Gyokeres heading home from a matter of inches after Gabriel had headed a Declan Rice corner back across the Burnley goal.

Arsenal’s defence is so freakishly good that opposition teams are now struggling to even muster a shot against them, let alone score a goal. This comfortable afternoon in Burnley resulted in a seventh consecutive clean sheet in all competitions for Mikel Arteta’s team,

Speaking about the defensive strength at the Emirates, Lewis-Skelly revealed that Arsenal players are calling the stadium “our house”. He told HaytersTV: “It’s just the pride. When we’re at our house – we call it (The Emirates) our house – and nothing comes in our house, nothing comes in our goal.
