Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League table with a 3-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Viktor Gyokeres ended his goal drought with a well-taken header to give the Gunners the lead, while Declan Rice doubled the advantage before half-time. Leandro Trossard sealed the win late in the game as Mikel Arteta’s side tightened their grip on the title race.
The Sweden striker’s opener was his first league goal since September 13, ending a five-match barren run. It was also his sixth goal in all competitions since joining from Sporting Lisbon during the summer.
