Burnley v Arsenal review ‘ Gunners happy with narrow win!

Arsene Wenger had clearly got across his message to the Arsenal players that Burnley would be no pushovers and could cause an upset if we were not on our game. So the Gunners started with energy and determination and it is just as well we did, because the home side were well up for it.

However, I did think that Arsenal would take control of the game once Aaron Ramsey had popped up in the box with his goal poachers instinct to smash us into lead after 12 minutes. The likes of Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis were doing very well to control the ball and cause problems but Burnley heads did not drop.

So as the first half wore on it was the home side that were creating just as much as Arsenal and they could feel that they deserved a bit more than to be losing the game. As for us, we had managed to cope with the pressure and showed that their are plenty of cool heads and confident ones in the team right now.

There was not too much to say about the second half other than there were no goals in it, which meant that Arsenal managed to make it eight in a row and keep up the pressure on the teams around us. Fair play to Burnley as they made it really hard although we were not at our best either, but it is results that we need and Arsenal got another.
