Gunnersaurus is doing push-ups as the players and their families gather on the pitch. And on that note \u2026 goodnight. Here\u2019s David Hytner\u2019s report:<\/p>\n
Share<\/a><\/p>\n Gursimran Grewal writes in:<\/p>\n double quotation markIt\u2019s feels like they\u2019re trying to put me through the emotional ringer on purpose<\/p>\n Michael in the USA says:<\/p>\n double quotation markLast I checked, the point of taking a corner was to try to put the biscuit in the basket. Arsenal are good at it. Should that not be a positive?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Arsenal have won four league games in a row since their loss by Manchester City last month, three of them 1-0 victories. It ain\u2019t pretty but fair play.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Let us be frank: that second half was a pretty dire watch. Arsenal were rock-solid at the back, Burnley<\/a> offering little going forward. David Raya didn\u2019t have to make a save.<\/p>\n A banner saying \u2018 Mikel knows\u2019 during celebrations after the match.

The former City right-back is back to put off the sub.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+4 min: Pires\u2019 foot is far too high, even as he wins the ball in midfield. The ref waves a yellow.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+2 min: Martinelli and Zubimendi are getting ready to come on \u2026 they replace Trossard and \u00d8degaard.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90+1 min: We\u2019ve got seven minutes added on. Lucas Pires crosses into the Arsenal<\/a> area \u2026 and Flemming smashes into Raya to go in the book. Ouch.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 90 min: Arsenal\u2019s off-the-ball work means Burnley<\/a> aren\u2019t really getting anywhere when they\u2019ve got a hold of it.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 88 min: Trossard picks up on the scraps of a free-kick into the mixer, trying an audacious volley.

They buildup slowly at the back before Pires tries to dribble through the middle \u2026 he can\u2019t get past Rice.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min: Gy\u00f6keres gets the crowd on their feet just for helping win a throw.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min: Gy\u00f6keres is hassling about up top for Arsenal<\/a>, nearly making something of a Raya long ball.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 82 min: Burnley<\/a> keep the changes coming, with Bruun Larsen and Humphreys coming on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 78 min: Gy\u00f6keres rushes to challenge Weiss before the forward goes down \u2026 and Arsenal<\/a> want a penalty again. Nah, mate.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 77 min: Hincapi\u00e9 goes down in the area \u2026 and his shorts come down with him, too. It\u2019s definitely not a penalty.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 76 min: Tchaouna is down for Burnley<\/a> after an off-the-ball clash with Hincapi\u00e9. There\u2019s been no flow to the game for the last 10 minutes with plenty of stoppages.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 74 min: Arsenal<\/a> have a free-kick on the right \u2026 and it\u2019s a rare waste.

Ugochukwu goes off, too, replaced by Laurent.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 69 min: Well, well, well, it\u2019s not overturned. Havertz\u2019s studs were high and on Ugochukwu. But the Arsenal<\/a> forward remains on the field.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: Oooh, Havertz\u2019s foot was far too high on Ugochukwu. VAR\u2019s having a look. That\u2019s a dreadful challenge.<\/p>\n rsenal’s Kai Havertz (left) is shown a yellow card by referee Paul Tierney.

Or maybe not: it\u2019s given as a goalkick.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 52 min: Anthony now finds himself on the right and he sends in a delicious cross into the middle, but Flemming is nowhere to be seen. That was a proper chance.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 51 min: It\u2019s all a bit too calm at the moment. Arsenal aren\u2019t really forcing it \u2026 but here\u2019s Anthony after Eze misplaces a pass. The Burnley<\/a> man cuts in from the left \u2026 and launches high. Eze raises his hand in apology.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 min: \u00d8degaard receives in his own half before driving forward, down the right. Burnley<\/a> hold the fort.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 48 min: Burnley<\/a> knock it around at the back before Weiss goes long \u2026 and Arsenal begin their own spell of possession.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 46 min: And we are back.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Ben Barclay believes in Mike Jackson\u2019s master plan:<\/p>\n double quotation markBurnley have Arsenal right where they want them. No point going up a goal, and sparking a furious come back. Better to wait until the 80th minute and score a Hail Mary equaliser.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Sky are speaking to \u00d8degaard at half-time. Just don\u2019t see the point of it. Let the guy have a breather.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n \u00d8ivind Ids\u00f8 writes in:<\/p>\n double quotation markOk, so Arsenal have scored more than 25 per cent of their goals on a corner this season, and that is in the PL alone.<\/p>\n Just confirms that this season is a complete write-off in terms of entertainment.<\/p>\n Hey, don\u2019t call me bitter just because I support Liverpool!!<\/p>\n But still.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>HALF-TIME: Arsenal 1-0 Burnley<\/p>\n It\u2019s not been box-office but Arsenal<\/a> have their precious goal.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45+2 min: Burnley have a moment of promise on the right wing but waste it, failing to cross into a crowded area before the half-time whistle is blown.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 44 min: Havertz drifts to the right, plays the ball to Saka, who goes for a curler \u2026 it\u2019s narrowly wide.
