Arsenal hold on despite Burnley’s heroics.
The atmosphere at Arsenal might see a shift now with these two wins in the Premier League. There is no European football for the Gunners, and hence, all glory must be domestic this season. However, after three losses in a row, wins against Norwich City and Burnley will provide some respite.
Arteta: "Really hard fought victory. We have players that do not have the best qualities to play that game, but I thought they did terrifically well. Their commitment and the attitude they showed to find a way to win was the most pleasing thing for me." pic.twitter.com/GDRqxzJKgX

Arsenal’s Brazilian centre-back Gabriel put in another excellent performance as Arsenal held on to their lead for dear life. Burnley created attack after attack as the home crowd buoyed them forward. There were a few moments of concern too. Burnley were awarded a penalty in the second half, which was overturned after a VAR check.

Martin Odegaard puts in another impressive performance.
After a relatively uneventful 30 minutes, Bukayo Saka made a decisive run in the Burnley half. Ashley Westwood fouled Saka on the edge of the box, and Odegaard stepped up to take the freekick. He made no mistake and slotted it into the top left corner of Nick Pope’s goal.
The 22-year-old is growing from strength to strength in the Premier League. While he could not make much of his career at Real Madrid, Martin Odegaard could be the next great central attacking midfielder for Arsenal.
