Burnley 0 Arsenal 1

 In a week where boss Sean Dyche signed a new four-year deal at the club, the Clarets created a number of chances but were unable to find a way past Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

 The result leaves Burnley 19th in the Premier League table with one point from their opening five fixtures after the 3-1 loss against Everton on Monday evening.

 The first chance of the game fell to the visitors when Kieran Tierney’s dangerous cross was touched by Clarets keeper Nick Pope into the path of Nicolas Pepe. But the Arsenal winger could only fire his tame effort straight at Pope.

 Following the opening chance, Burnley began to test the Gunners backline in the air and peppered the visitors’ box with cross after cross.

 The Clarets had their best chance of the half on nine minutes when Ashley Barnes almost connected with Pope’s long ball into the Arsenal box but when he fired over, the Gunners had a reprieve.

 Moments later, the Clarets went close again when Ashley Westwood’s deft floated ball met Barnes again in the box - but the forward was unable to direct his effort on target.

 End-to-end action ensued following Barnes’ double chance. On 28 minutes, Arsenal broke the deadlock after Westwood brought down Bukayo Saka on the edge of the box.
