It was the dismantling of Burnley on a cold afternoon at Turf Moor which ticked further boxes in Arsenal’s Premier League title chase.
This was a blueprint differing from the typical ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ style of victories seen in the league against both Fulham and Crystal Palace recently. Far from it.
The match was as good as done by half-time, Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice’s headed efforts having given the north London club an unassailable lead. Burnley’s expected goals ratio was then sat at 0, for context.
