00:00I
00:29Burnley left it late at Wolves, but they've now won back-to-back games in the Premier League.
00:35Today, though, is the ultimate challenge for Scott Parker.
00:39Arsenal arrive with an eight-match winning streak.
00:42They look good, very good.
00:44Could this finally be the year for Mikel Arteta?
00:47Two seasons ago here, Arsenal thrashed Burnley 5-0.
00:52And the members of the Old Football League, one of only five clubs who've won all four English divisions,
01:03you can smell the history at this proper old ground.
01:08Come on, Burnley! Come on, Burnley! Come on, Burnley!
01:11It is Burnley against the leaders, Arsenal, at Turf Moor in the Premier League.
01:26Burnley have been competitive for the most part on their return to the top flight,
01:32and they'll certainly need to be today because Arsenal are looking the part.
01:36Yes, it's early days, but the signs are really promising for Mikel Arteta on Nicklaus.
01:41Yes, they'll be absolutely delighted, Ian.
01:44I think his team just know exactly what to do.
01:47Whatever scenario the game throws at them, they're efficient.
01:50They have a great understanding, and they'll look to dominate possession today,
01:53but they have to have that cutting edge in that final third today.
02:01Well, we have seven wins in their nine games.
02:03Arsenal are setting a blistering pace.
02:07Four points clear at Bournemouth.
02:08Six above Manchester City and seven above the defending champions.
02:13Liverpool, who have their issues at the moment.
02:18Burnley have ten points for 27,
02:21and their performance has probably deserved a bit more than that,
02:23but as it stands, they are five points above the relegation zone.
02:28The three promoted clubs at the moment suggesting they might just hold their own.
02:35Sunderland especially leads and Burnley, perhaps, and maybe.
02:42Burnley have had their ups and downs in recent times,
02:46but they would dearly love to stay among the elite of English football,
02:50and they're certainly facing the elite today.
02:54Arsenal's long, long wait for a title.
02:57Could it really come to an end this season, Chris?
03:00Yeah, I think it will.
03:02You know, I think they've worked ever so hard,
03:04they've built well, they've recruited well,
03:07but they're playing some fantastic stuff.
03:08It's all about results.
03:09I think they're up against a Burnley side today
03:12that will absorb the pressure,
03:13try and play on the counter-attack,
03:16and I think that's the most important thing for Burnley.
03:18In that transition, they need to be a threat.
03:20They need to be able to give that defensive unit a little bit of respite
03:23so they can go up the pitch and try and create as well in that attacking third.
03:29Well, Burnley are eager to go,
03:31waiting in the tunnel already
03:33to be led out by Josh Cullen,
03:36who's been an exceptional player for them
03:38and took over the captaincy in the summer
03:40when Josh Brownhill departed,
03:43and he was obviously a key and pivotal player for them too,
03:46but I think Scott Parker might be quite satisfied
03:51with the way things have gone so far this season.
04:02It is the 19th Premier League meeting between these two teams.
04:06Burnley have only managed one win,
04:09and they didn't even score the winning goal in that.
04:12It was an own goal from Pierre-Emerick of Ballyang
04:15at the Emirates back in 2020.
04:22Burnley being kept waiting for now,
04:25but here come Arsenal,
04:27who were unbeaten in their last 11 league visits to Turf Moor,
04:33stretching back to 1973 when Bertie Mee was their manager.
04:38Bakaia Saka scored twice when Arsenal last came here two seasons ago.
04:50Martin Odegaard fired them in front with just four minutes on the clock,
04:54and that was a cracking goal as well,
04:57but it set the tone that day
04:58as they ended up 5-0 winners.
05:02Tunnel has been moved to the other side,
05:11the same side as the dugouts this season.
05:15No traipsing across the pitch
05:17for the managers anymore.
05:19It is Burnley against Arsenal,
05:24and you sense that Turf Moor is more than ready for this.
05:31Questions will be asked of Burnley,
05:33but we'll be hoping to ask for a few of themselves.
05:38Let's have a look at today's teams
05:52in this Premier League encounter.
05:56Scott Parker makes one change for Wolves.
05:59Martin Dubravka won his last three games
06:02against Arsenal with Newcastle.
06:03Joss Laurent comes into a back five.
06:08Kulensi Hartman has provided four assists
06:11in the Premier League this season.
06:14Jadon Anthony spent a decade in Arsenal's academy,
06:17but didn't make the grade there.
06:20Zeehan Fleming scored twice at Molyneux,
06:23and he stays up front.
06:25Jakob Brun Larsson drops to the bench,
06:28but last week's match winner Lyle Foster
06:30misses out through illness.
06:33Mikel Arteta names the same side
06:37that started against Crystal Palace.
06:40David Raya has kept six clean sheets
06:42in nine Premier League outings.
06:46William Saliba was a doubt
06:48after coming off last week,
06:49but he's fine.
06:51Averi Eze was the only one of this 11
06:53who started the League Cup tie in midweek.
06:57Deandro Trossard makes his 100th appearance
06:59for Arsenal.
07:00He scored in both wins against Burnley
07:03two seasons ago.
07:0515-year-old revelation,
07:07Max Dallman is on the bench
07:09and could become
07:10the Premier League's youngest ever scorer.
07:13I'm hoping, hoping to make an impact today.
07:22Number 16...
07:25Number 16...
07:33Homo Tosharn breaks a century of Arsenal appearances.
07:36Number 21...
07:37There are three Arsenal goals this season
07:38that has all come way from home
07:39Leandro Trossard reaches a century of Arsenal appearances.
07:46There's three Arsenal goals this season.
07:48They've all come away from home and in three different competitions.
07:53And Arsenal fans will be relieved to see Williams Saliba ready to go after going off last week.
08:00Arsenal have actually only managed three wins in their last seven league encounters against Burnley.
08:12But they only lost one of those.
08:14There were three draws along the way.
08:18But they are firm favourites obviously here today as the players and the rest of Turf Moor prepare to remember those who lost their lives.
08:30In Walls.
09:00They shall grow not up as we at our left grow old.
09:13Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
09:17At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
09:22Amen.
12:10Four points clear of Bournemouth, who go to Manchester City tomorrow.
12:15Should be entertaining that one.
12:22You see Anne Fleming immediately closing down David Raya.
12:31Burnley playing with a similar formation that they used against Liverpool here,
12:35and they almost took a point off the champions.
12:37Yes, they did, you know, they had a lot of joy without really creating much,
12:41and that's what has to be different today.
12:43You're looking at that ball straight from Aja to Jokeres,
12:46even if he doesn't win it, he's making a nuisance of himself,
12:50and they're actually gambling and trying to pick up second balls.
13:01Arsenal, 70% favourites to win this.
13:05They might be thinking it should be higher, but we'll see what Burnley are made of,
13:09and they've been made of quite a bit so far.
13:11Some encouraging performances.
13:13Ten points in the first nine games.
13:16I mean, a far cry from the season they went down two years ago.
13:20No, spot on.
13:21You know, I think winning games just breeds confidence,
13:24but this is a very different challenge today.
13:26Kyle Walker brought in for his vast experience.
13:31Ready to go long here.
13:39Jokeres.
13:40And they got away from Walker, but not from Transibi,
13:46and it's Burnley's throw.
13:48Chases everything, doesn't he?
13:50Doesn't let up, and that's what you want.
13:52Just creates a little bit of chaos.
13:54Down the line by Walker to Fleming.
14:06Gabrielle will marshal that back to Riot.
14:12Yeah, I'm just looking at that defensive line of Burnley.
14:31Even though we're looking at Saliba, Gabrielle will not get any pressure on the ball.
14:36Staying high, being brave, makes it easier to go and press and try and force the issue in the right areas of the pitch.
14:49Here's Declan Rice looking for somewhere to go.
14:56Arsenal usually find somewhere to go,
15:00but we might have to be patient today against the Burnley side,
15:05who have already set up kind of how we thought they might.
15:11Yeah, all the space is going to be down both flanks, isn't it?
15:14Trossard and Saka always asking that question,
15:17playing right on that defensive line of Burnley.
15:21Eze.
15:25Simba quickly closed down by Hartman.
15:28Calafiore, Trossard ahead.
15:43Gabrielle.
15:45Saliba.
15:51Trossard.
15:52It's a quick one for Calafiore.
15:53Looks like it's going to race away from him and it duly does.
15:58Yeah, keeping the ball well, but like you say, Burnley very organised without the ball,
16:02making sure there's no little spaces, no little pockets.
16:05Looking at Zoumende, he's finding great little pockets, but they've got to be brave,
16:08make sure they're playing into that area.
16:12Arsenal players with black armbands following the death of Colin Addison and Willie Young,
16:16David O'Leary's former partner at the back all those years ago.
16:21Jadon Anthony on to this and he is having a good season.
16:34The man who spent a decade in Arsenal's academy before they let him go and he went to Bournemouth.
16:40And all turned out well in the end.
16:45He's already scored four Premier League goals.
16:50Florentino.
16:51Just skipped away from Walker.
17:01Again, Arsenal without the ball.
17:05Great intensity is trying to force issue.
17:07Just has to keep, can he find Kyle Walker under that pressure from Trossard?
17:13When Arsenal came here two seasons ago, they were already ahead by now.
17:19Cracking strike from the currently injured Martin Odegaard.
17:27And they went on to win 5-0.
17:32Burnley hoping to offer a bit more resistance than they did that day.
17:39Canefiore, Trossard takes over.
17:43Brice.
17:55Yeah, it's excellent from Califiori, he's just tucked in.
17:57Trossard's always the out-ball, just give him it.
17:59So he can go get at Kyle Walker, be direct, create something.
18:02It's gonna be interesting to see how Arsenal deal with this, I mean the top teams usually do, and they usually do.
18:16Well, you look at the defensive line, Ian, of Burnley, so high, so with quality in behind, probably on an angle,
18:21that defensive line's got to drop, what does that do?
18:23Then it'll create the space for your midfielders to go on the ball and dictate and get a foothold in the game.
18:28Arsenal biding their time for now, Zuda Mendy, Timba.
18:40Arsenal biding their time for now.
18:44Declan Rice, Califiori, Trossard hugging this touchline at the moment, but Kyle Walker's moved in on him, it's a brilliant effect.
18:55He just had to delay the pass, but he's getting a free kick anyway.
19:00Well, it's excellent from Kyle Walker, he's driving forward, you're looking at Califiori there, go put pressure on,
19:06but he's just waiting, he's got nowhere to go, as soon as he feels that contact, he's gonna go down, it's an easy one,
19:11it's a silly one to give away there, Califiori with the experience that he has.
19:18Set-piece offers Burnley Hope.
19:20The officers have scored plenty of set-piece goals this season, but Burnley will fancy that scenario too.
19:40Walker's free kick did not clear the first man, Declan Rice.
19:44Again, with the quality that Walker has, here's Walker Chukwu.
19:51Cullen, Walker, he'll be disappointed with that one.
19:58Yeah, especially if you have an opportunity to put the ball right in the mix, make sure you beat that first man, overhit it if anything.
20:05Cullen.
20:12Cullen.
20:14Cullen who was relegated with Ipswich last season, but he stayed around in the Premier League.
20:24Laurent will be screened by Gabriel, if that's the right idea.
20:33Florentino in and about, Eze.
20:36And Hartman likewise with Timba.
20:39This is what Burnley know they need to do.
20:41Yeah, it's fantastic press without the ball from Burnley there, but you understand as soon as Timba and Saliba keep the ball,
20:49you've got to drop in, you've got to then think defensively.
20:53Declan Rice perfectly picks out Saka.
20:56Rice again.
21:01Gabrielle.
21:13Trossard, first time.
21:21Esteve clears.
21:24Cheyden, Anthony.
21:26Yeah, it's much better I think.
21:28defending well, as soon as Arsenal get into that, that final third, they're up against two banks of five.
21:33Sometimes that six goes into that defensive unit.
21:35It's in that transition, they've got to use the ball better.
21:39Here's Rice though, looking to send it through to Jokeres, but...
21:43And Xebi closing the door on that idea.
21:46Yeah, it's a fantastic run from Jokeres, isn't it?
21:48Way to pass is there too, and Xebi has to go and defend well.
21:51And then obviously under the pressure from Trossard, Arsenal throw in in this attacking third.
21:56There's Declan Rice who's waiting to receive, and that's an inviting one.
22:03Teared away by Twanziby.
22:08Zubamendi.
22:13David Reier in the middle of his own half.
22:23Sweeper-keeper.
22:30Turned away by Florentino.
22:32Yeah, I think Arsenal just have to need a little bit more urgency.
22:35Can he get the ball out to Saka?
22:37Trossard a little bit earlier, the pass is on, they're refusing it.
22:40Those little short passes understand to get a foothold in the game, but you want to try and push Burnley back, that defensive unit anyway.
22:45Saliba now for Cara Fiori.
22:50Rice didn't quite carry to Timba.
23:00That is the ball though, especially when that defensive line stepping up, a little bit of quality in behind for Timba to run on to.
23:12for Timba to run on to.
23:19Cara Fiori.
23:22Trossard.
23:24Trossard.
23:35Trossard.
23:40Zubamendi.
23:48Zouba Mendy is going to reach Trossard off Laurent, Calafiore won't be able to sneak in there, and it will be a corner.
24:02Yes, excellent from Arsenal there, especially Trossard, just anticipating it going and picking up that second ball.
24:08That little one in behind, Joss Loren kind of duels with it there, but Trossard's on to it.
24:13Little reverse one round the corner, little nick of Burnley corner, but much better play.
24:21Calafiore asking that question in behind, marshalled all the way by Thunzebi.
24:29The Arsenal have scored seven goals from corners.
24:32Premier League.
24:38There's another one beckoning.
24:40Declan Rice goes towards the far stick.
24:44Jokeres is there to put it away.
24:46And that's why they brought him to Arsenal.
24:53Right place, right time.
24:56An early statement of intent, and Arsenal have been making a few of those lately.
25:01Well, it's an excellent goal.
25:04Jokeres just alive to it, knows it.
25:07He's got to anticipate the second phase, and he's alive.
25:11He's kept the ball to the back area, put back across, and there you go.
25:16A yard from goal, he's not going to miss from there.
25:18Anticipating it, reacting, fantastic finish there from Jokeres.
25:21It's a difficult one to defend as well.
25:24You have to be brave, go and win the ball.
25:26That's it, go and make sure the first contact is going to be a Burnley contact there.
25:31If it's not, you're going to be under some pressure.
25:33This is where you've got to just turn your back.
25:38Make sure you face the ball, can you react to it?
25:41Bravka will be disappointed there.
25:44It was Gabrielle who knocked it back, of course it was.
25:49It's Hartman, though.
25:55He's over-hit his cross from a...
25:57He was in a good position to do better than that.
26:00Kyle Walker has prevented...
26:07...call kick, but it's just a throw for Calafiore,
26:10and an early setback for Scott Parker.
26:14Yeah, it will be a massive blow in a game where they were winning second balls,
26:18seeing a bit more than what I thought they would have of the ball,
26:22trying to get into that attacking field, and that's where the quality kind of let them down.
26:31Arsenal are showing their danger and expertise in many ways from corners.
26:35You spoke about it at the start, Ian, they find a way.
26:37You know, if they can't open you up in open play, dead ball situations, massive, massive threat.
26:42Classic Arsenal goal in terms of this season, although fair to say there is a bit more, quite a bit more about them than just set pieces.
27:06The early lead at Turf Moor.
27:15The step for Florentino is Hartman.
27:21Now Anthony.
27:28Yeah, trying to play out, play through the thuds, I think, Jadon Anthony there.
27:30Just ask that question of Saliba.
27:32Take him in behind, create that space, get into that final thud.
27:34It's all about end product, me being a striker, that's what you want.
27:36You want good wide play, you know that if they're in a position to put a ball in, no matter how deep, put it in.
27:51Trossard, he's got his cross in, but Saka won't be allowed near that, Jadon Anthony running to Zubomendi.
28:07The game plan doesn't change, Ian, you know, I think it's win-nil, it's a bit just making sure you don't concede, be compact, hard to play against.
28:22In the latter stages now Burnley will have to come out if they do not concede again until then.
28:26It's not a fixture that will define Burnley's season, that's for sure.
28:40More like West Ham next week on that front.
28:43100%, I don't like this free hit, it's not any game is winnable.
28:56Arsenal have assumed control, such is their way, Calafiore's making a run here.
29:03Comes off the head of Laurent and it will be another corner to worry Burnley.
29:14It's just the quality on the delivery from these and you know that you've got players that are going to be aggressive and going to win that, make that first contact.
29:22And this is where any defending side, it's the second phase you have to be switched on, you have to be alive too.
29:28If you're not going to win the first contact, the second contact's the most important.
29:31Arsenal corner, enough to induce panic among opposition defenders as we've already seen.
29:42Gabriel's not back for Jokeres to score.
29:45What's happening with this corner?
29:48Declan Rice sent it in a similar place.
29:51Goal kick this time, although I don't think Arsenal are quite agreeing with that decision.
29:57Yeah, I think they've got an argument as well, I think it's off the shoulder.
30:04Is it of Florentino?
30:06Should have been another corner.
30:13Yeah, but it just causes panic, doesn't it?
30:15Again, when you've got four or five players coming in from the back area of the 18-yard box, six-yard box,
30:22you've got to make sure the players are taking responsibility.
30:25I don't like zonal marking anyway, I'd like to go man for man, light for light.
30:29Do you know who's fault it is then, if you concede?
30:32De Kravka will be relieved he's not going to face another corner anyway.
30:40Walker.
30:43Cullen.
30:46Rice now for Canafiore.
30:48There's that.
31:08Saliba.
31:18Saliba, who scored in Arsenal's home win against Fernley two seasons ago.
31:383-1 at the Emirates.
31:40Trossard.
31:53Trossard up against Walker.
31:57Calafiore nearby.
31:58Jokkares too.
32:03So many in the box if Trossard can deliver.
32:06And he can.
32:07It's Calafiore!
32:11And Dubravka has to tip it over the bar, which of course means another corner to contend with.
32:16It's just fantastic quality down this left-hand side, waiting to see this ball from Leandro Trossard.
32:21Calafiore takes a fantastic first touch and then refuses to take the shot on.
32:25There, get it away.
32:26Ask the question.
32:27He did in the end, but like you say, I think Junzebe was there to get the block on.
32:33Fantastic ball, great first touch as well.
32:35Just ask that question, let it go with your left.
32:38There are four Arsenal players on the far side of Declan Rice's corner here, but they're making their moves in now towards the near post in the middle.
32:49Dubravka right on his goal and under pressure.
32:52And the free kick is going to be given.
32:57He's got to be strong, Dubravka.
33:00Make that decision early.
33:01Come out.
33:02Bodies all around him as well.
33:04There is a contact.
33:06I think Chris Kavanagh, the referee, has got that one spot on.
33:13Well, he was in the Newcastle team.
33:15They beat Arsenal twice on their road to League Cup glory last season.
33:21Join Burnley after seven and a half years on Tyneside.
33:29Jokeres.
33:32Oh, Saka Esteve.
33:34Couldn't get there.
33:35Saka could.
33:37And it's an important save from Dubravka.
33:39You just cannot.
33:41You've got to make a decision.
33:42You've got to defend.
33:43You cannot let Saka get around the wrong side of you there.
33:46You'll be disappointed, Saka.
33:47One and one.
33:49Find a corner.
33:50Lift it over the keeper.
33:51Supermendy.
33:54Arsenal look so threatening.
33:56It's just about everyone has found out lately.
34:04Eight wins in a row.
34:11Just one goal conceded in that run.
34:15It's just fantastic rotations with Mendy, Eze, Declan Rice making it very difficult.
34:21Timbers cross, cleared by Transibi, but it's just becoming relentless.
34:26From the league leaders.
34:32Supermendy almost effortlessly.
34:36For Saka.
34:38Saliba's cross was...
34:44collected by Calafiore.
34:48Dubovka.
34:50Bumps Trossard out the way.
34:53Yeah, very strong challenge, wasn't it?
34:55I think if it's given us a foul, I don't think there'll be too many arguments, but he's there.
35:01And now Trossard conceding a free kick for a foul on Walker.
35:05Yeah, a little reaction there from Trossard.
35:08I don't mind that at all.
35:09Just got to be careful, I think that's something that you can see there, Kyle Walker looking for that one as well.
35:19I think both managers have asked for discipline.
35:22Saka here coming in, he'll be disappointed, he's just trying to find that bottom left-hand corner.
35:26Had a lot of time to think about it, but got on the wrong side of Maxime Esteve.
35:30Well, it's going pretty much as probably everyone expected so far.
35:40And Arsenal have an early lead to show for their domination.
35:46Domination.
35:47Florentino.
35:48Florentino.
35:50Florentino.
36:10Florentino.
36:14Florentino.
36:18Stev now for Hartman, pinged towards Uka Chukwu, who took it well, scored a couple of goals lately, brings Walker into it, Loren.
36:37A bit of possession for Burnley, but of course the big question is always going to be, can they hurt Arsenal?
36:49Well, I think they had an opportunity there, Uka Chukwu, you can understand when he returns his man, he's driving out, that's where Kyle Walker has to be, more advanced, so it can be played into that channel, end product, crosses coming in.
37:02Uka Chukwu wanted a free kick, but Burnley have retained the ball, so advantage played.
37:12This is something this Arsenal side can do as well, they're quite comfortable saying, OK, you have it, you're playing it in front of us, what are you going to do?
37:23Is there anything they can't do at the moment?
37:27OK.
37:43Buon sale!
37:49Tiens!
37:55Jose taken out by Josh Cullen and that will be a yellow card for the Burnley captain.
38:01Well it's excellent play again from Arsenal, here's the little giving going behind,
38:05Josh Cullen has to take, it's a yellow card for the team there, knows exactly what he's doing,
38:11so Arsenal don't get that advantage.
38:21First yellow card of the game for the Burnley skipper.
38:25David Raya is going to take this free kick for Mikel Arteta.
38:44Gabriel to the left, sent in his direction, it's Calafiore who helps it on.
38:50Jadon Anthony's taken out.
38:59Yeah I think Timber was always going to be second best to that, has to go and contest it,
39:04put Jadon Anthony under a little bit of pressure, just having a position very very well.
39:08So far so good for Mikel Arteta in this game and in this season.
39:21So far so good for Mikel Arteta in this game and in this season.
39:34I know you can do!
39:42I know you can do!
39:44I know you can do.
39:46I know you can do it!
39:48I know you can do it!
39:48I have a lot of movement to
39:58Ezra's being caught again, it's another three-kick.
40:01It's excellent close control from Ezra, I'm not too sure there's enough in it for a foul.
40:06He is trying to fend off, hands all over him to be fair, but great control of the ball.
40:11I think there is a little nick there from Josh Lauren on the ball.
40:28And he's allowed to change it.
40:41Calafiore.
40:44Taken in by Jocares, the goalscorer.
40:50Kyle Walker trying to stop him. Jocares doing really well.
40:56Bounced off Florentino.
40:58Rice, Calafiore, Saliba, Saka, confronted by Anthony,
41:15Declan Rice, there's her, Josh Cullen steps in, and Fleming,
41:45yeah it's a great little turn from Fleming there, having to do that selfless job, a little bit isolated at times,
41:57but watch this, just a great turn, aware of Mendy, he's gonna roll this man there.
42:15Over half an hour in, and Burnley haven't had much of a look in yet.
42:22Arsenal took control early, Saka almost gifted a ball there.
42:33Declan Rice sees off Fleming, and now has it, and Arsenal are on the move again, Jokeres, some move, this is Saka, saved by Dubravka again,
42:49Trossard, stopped on the line, Transibi and Hartman, both there, Burnley hanging in.
42:57We're waiting to see this, this all came from fantastic strength.
43:01Four pitchmen given there from Declan Rice in the middle of the pitch, two or three players round him, he's off balance, he still gets the pass through, fantastic quality from Eze,
43:13little ball into Saka, watch this quality from Declan Rice, Eze knows exactly where he is, one in by Zaka, and to be fair, it's a good strong hand by Dubravka, Jokeres alive to it again,
43:25second phase, and Trossard does everything right, hits the target, June Xabi on the line, save the day for Burnley.
43:34That is a top save from Dubravka, denying Saka again.
43:40Two players on the line, just in case.
43:49It's still 1-0 to the Arsenal, but it might have been more.
43:55It's still 1-0 to the free kick.
44:06Look at Saka.
44:08Laurent.
44:11Pinched by Declan Rice.
44:13And this could be ominous for Burnley as Arsenal swarm forward again.
44:19Jokeres.
44:20Jadon Anthony stayed calm.
44:28Yeah, I've been really impressed with Jokeres.
44:30Chases everything, holds the ball up, and you know what?
44:33Brings other players in as well, that physicality, what a presence he is leading the line.
44:38Brilliant switch from Kyle Walker to opposite wing-back, Quincy Hartman, but it's stopped by Timber.
44:48Quincy Hartman there does everything right, receives the ball.
44:51Get at you, man.
44:52One-we-one.
44:53You know, get at him, drive it into the box, make him have to defend rather than take that early cross on.
44:59Not enough bodies in the box to me there, Ian.
45:03In the season of long throws in the Premier League, I think there's another one incoming from Kyle Walker.
45:09Well, this has paid off for a few teams in the Premier League this season.
45:24Launched by Walker, away by Gabriel.
45:27Well, if anyone was gonna meet it, it would be him.
45:30That's it, just reads the flight of the ball ever so well.
45:33So aggressive, go make sure you win that first contact.
45:44Well, you said it, Ian.
45:45He goes and wins every ball, surely someone stands on their toes and stops him from advancing.
45:50He's free just now.
45:53You'd have been good at that, I reckon.
45:55There he is again, Gabriel.
45:57Now, a potential breakout here.
46:02Eze running through the middle.
46:07Chossard has caught up as well.
46:10Arsenal rushing forward, Burnley rushing back.
46:13And Declan Rice is there, they're headed home.
46:17A classic counter from Arsenal, who are sitting pretty on top in this game.
46:26On top of the Premier League.
46:30This is just a wonderful goal from start to finish.
46:34The switch from Jochenes.
46:36Chossard keeping it alive.
46:37Getting it as man, what we spoke about earlier.
46:39Making him have to defend.
46:41Having the quality and composure.
46:44Just to lift it up.
46:45And Declan Rice arriving at the right time.
46:47This is where it all came from.
46:48Gabriel winning the ball.
46:49The speed of thought.
46:50Just watch this ball from Jochenes.
46:52This is outstanding.
46:54Fantastic little play.
46:55Chossard keeping it alive.
46:571v1.
46:59Up against Trossard.
47:00Stop the cross defensively.
47:01Go stop the cross.
47:02You can't give him that space.
47:03And look at this.
47:04Arriving at the right time.
47:05Can't stop those.
47:07Excellent header from Declan Rice.
47:08Great ball from Trossard.
47:15That is how to counter.
47:19And Declan Rice.
47:20Tross in to make up the ground.
47:22And place it perfectly.
47:24To Pratka did get a touch.
47:26Couldn't keep it out.
47:27Nobody can keep Arsenal out.
47:29Right now.
47:31They're in a comfortable position here.
47:332-0 up for Turf Moor.
47:35We've got it on price.
47:36We've got it on price.
47:37We've got it on price.
47:38We've got it on price.
47:39We've got it on price.
47:40And you're right that pass from Jochenes.
47:42Looks better with every viewing doesn't it?
47:45Yeah.
47:46Just put the laces through it.
47:47A little bit of movement on the ball as well.
47:49But when you've got Willing Runners chasing everything, making things happen.
47:57Dr. Rice on defensive duty.
47:59Now.
48:00He's pretty good at that too.
48:01Another Longham from Kyle Walker is Burnley's seeker response.
48:07And this might be their best bet.
48:09But it's cleared by guess who?
48:11Gabriel.
48:12Up in the air by Fleming.
48:13David Ryan looking for another quick burst forward here.
48:18Jochenes.
48:19Jochenes.
48:20Up against Transevi.
48:21Saka twice denied by De Brabco already.
48:23Finds it.
48:24There's a, and that's diverted for a you-know-what.
48:25An Arsenal card.
48:26Another Longham from Kyle Walker.
48:27Another Longham from Kyle Walker is Burnley's seeker response.
48:28And this might be their best bet.
48:29And this might be their best bet.
48:30But it's cleared by guess who?
48:31Gabriel.
48:32Up in the air by Fleming.
48:33David Ryan looking for another quick burst forward here.
48:34Jokeres up against Transevi.
48:35looking for another quick burst forward here, Jokeres up against Transevi, Saka twice denied by Dubravko already, finds Eze, and that's diverted for a you-know-what, an Arsenal corner, well it's quality from David Reier, the Arsenal goalkeeper there, just releasing Jokeres defensively, Ian you cannot let the ball bounce, as soon as you let the ball bounce it's in the attacker's favour all the while, especially when you've got the physicality of Jokeres, what you're going to do, just feel your defender, allow your support
49:05to come up and keep possession of the ball, so as a defender you've got to read the flight of the ball, be brave, run through Jokeres, go and put your head on the ball.
49:19Four corners for Arsenal, goal from one of them, Saka, to take this, and Burnley have every reason to be concerned.
49:35Saka, this time, try something a little different, Eze setting up Zubomendy, oh that's not bad either, and Trossard unable to get a touch that would have mattered.
49:48Well you've said it before, what can this Arsenal side not do, that's fantastic, and it worked as well, Trossard just never had that contact to put it past Dubravko, great little ball from Zubomendy as well, just to lift it over, that defensive unit.
50:05Arsenal fans, they've made the trek north, loving this and loving everything about their team at the moment.
50:21Seven attempts from Arsenal, six on target, rather decent stats.
50:30Yeah, it's like you said, they've got a real foothold in this game, attacking it well, disappointing that from Burnley,
50:37in the positions that they've found themselves in as well, there's not really been that end product,
50:40if it be the cross, that final touch, that final pass or decision in that final third.
50:45A long way back for Burnley already, as they try to find their way into this game,
51:03but it's been a relentless first half from Arsenal.
51:08Estelle, Hartman, Fleming made a good run, got ahead of Gabriel, but then it all went wrong,
51:27and now, Jokeres is having some game, feeds Saka.
51:35Saka up against Estelle.
51:37Just played to the whistle, that's what we get taught from Young.
51:45Saka, maybe there's a little pull on him there, but you go and get the ball.
51:54Out of reach, Mikhail Walker, who 14 years ago scored a winner in a North London derby for Spurs against Arsenal.
52:02Miquel Arteta, one of his opponents back then.
52:08Out of reach, Mikhail Walker, who 14 years ago scored a winner in a North London derby for Spurs against Arsenal.
52:22He's up.
52:24Rice.
52:24Rice.
52:32He's up.
52:34He was in Arsenal's academy and an Arsenal fan.
52:47Zouba Mendy, brought in from Real Sociedad.
52:56Tossard, playing his 100th game for Arsenal.
53:04Rice.
53:08If you look at Florentino and Josh Cullen, their objectives just to sit in front of that back three.
53:15But if you look at Eza, the position that he picks up, and Declan Rice at times, Zouba Mendy also,
53:20they're just pulling them away for someone to run into that pocket where the 10 is.
53:24So hard to defend against.
53:25When it does get a lot more advanced, Josh Cullen then goes and takes responsibility in that little hole.
53:29But the way that Arsenal rotate, Calafiore finds himself in there at times as well.
53:33You have to take responsibility without the ball.
53:36Follow your man.
53:40And it's proving to be a tough shift for Burnley, this, who did come into this match on the back of back-to-back wins in the Premier League.
53:51Saka.
53:55Timba.
53:55Jokker just went the wrong side of him.
54:05Jokker just went the wrong side of him.
54:11Jokker just went the wrong side of him.
54:11half
54:32bump there from Florentino on Eza, Supermendy in a hurry, Timba Saka
54:41Saka wriggles clear of Anthony looking for a one-two with Timba the offside flag has gone up
54:52this is a very very tight decision I've got to see Maximus Stev alive to it tries to step up
54:58good little interchange there Saka and Timba he's not offside it's two and Zebi keeps him on there for me
55:11Scott Parker needs to try and find answers to this scoreline but uh
55:28quite a few have tried this season without much joy we think there might be two minutes added on to this
55:33first half by the way
55:44there's a collision there
55:45we'll carry on going for back on their feet
56:00Timba and Anthony
56:02Declan Rice between the centre-halves and it's a wonderful pass for Trossard
56:15what a bit of juggling to do and that allowed Kyle Walker in who secured the goal kick
56:21yeah he's done ever so well there Kyle Walker excellent ball and behind fantastic first touch
56:25from Trossard on the chest just gave showing a little bit too much to Kyle Walker to come across
56:30get his body in between ball and man
56:33the fourth official has indicated on the minimum of two minutes so we go into two extra minutes at the
56:39end of a first half that has very much belonged to the premier league leaders
56:55level ichi
57:12we have one who's behind so what weren't for
57:14us
57:17guys
57:19guys
57:20we have one who's behind our
57:23guys
57:24They look on their passing a bit, don't they?
57:43I think just a look that Timber gave Zubimendi there.
57:48Just a misunderstanding.
57:51No need to force the issue.
57:54Locked on by Walker.
58:07First half is drawing to a close.
58:18Rice.
58:19Rice.
58:24Kyle Walker, one-man press at the moment.
58:30Jocheres took a sore one there.
58:34And that is that.
58:37Match non-stop from Arsenal.
58:40Took an early lead through Jocheres after Gabriel knocked Declan Rice's cornerback.
58:47Yes, that old scenario for Arsenal.
58:49And then Rice popped up to score the second himself.
58:53Trust him to keep up with everyone else as Arsenal went on a classic counter-attack.
58:58Another very impressive performance from the leaders, half-time at Turf Moor, Burnley 0, Arsenal 2.
59:10The moment to remember!
59:12That is great!
59:12The moment to remember!
59:14The moment to remember!
