Arsenal secured a crucial victory against Burnley, claiming the second spot in the Premier League thanks to Oleksandr Zinchenko’s spectacular goal. The Emirates witnessed a thrilling encounter as Burnley, resilient throughout, managed to level the score with Josh Brownhill’s deflected effort, responding to Leandro Trossard’s first-half header.

William Saliba swiftly restored the Gunners’ lead, setting the stage for Zinchenko’s left-foot rocket that left goalkeeper James Trafford helpless. Despite an imperfect performance, Arsenal outplayed Burnley, overcoming their challenges. However, the joy of victory was tempered by Fabio Vieira’s late red card, marring an otherwise positive week for manager Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal dominated possession in the first half, but Burnley posed threats, with Trossard’s late first-half goal breaking the deadlock. A resilient defensive effort by Saliba denied Burnley’s attempt to equalize early in the second half. The Frenchman later redeemed himself, heading home to Trossard’s corner. Zinchenko’s memorable strike sealed the victory, highlighting Arsenal’s resilience and determination.
