Arsenal rediscovered their winning form in the Premier League with a convincing 3-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium, following a controversial 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United the previous weekend.
Leandro Trossard, William Saliba, and Oleksandr Zinchenko were the heroes of the day, each finding the back of the net to secure the crucial three points for the Gunners. Not even Fabio Vieira's 83rd-minute red card could thwart their victory.
Particularly impressive was Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Ukrainian international defender, who opened his goal-scoring account for the season. This came at a crucial moment as Burnley sought to mount a comeback after Josh Brownhill had equalized Trossard's earlier strike. Zinchenko's technique for his goal left spectators in awe, with even Netherlands international Jurrien Timber expressing his amazement on Instagram through an emoji that spoke volumes.
In the quest for the Premier League title, Arsenal recognizes the need for goals from every department. The fact that two defenders found the back of the net in this match is undoubtedly a positive sign for the club.
This significant victory has propelled Arsenal to level points with league leaders Manchester City, instilling confidence in their ability to challenge the reigning champions for the title this season.
However, injuries have plagued Arsenal's campaign this season, making the upcoming international break a much-needed respite. Their next fixture is scheduled for November 25, with a trip to the Gtech Community Stadium to face Brentford.
Manager Mikel Arteta will be eagerly anticipating some injury recoveries during this break, as squad depth will be a vital factor in their pursuit of major silverware this season. The frequent injuries have posed a considerable challenge to the Gunners, who remain determined in their quest for success.
