00:00Arsenal's 2-0 win at Burnley wasn't just another three points.
00:05It was another convincing sign that this title challenge has a different complexion.
00:11Five Premier League victories in a row, seven points clear at the summit
00:15and the kind of composure that once evaporated in decisive moments.
00:20This time Arsenal look ready to stay where they are.
00:23When Burnley's defensive wall refused to budge, Arsenal leaned into an emerging superpower.
00:32Their opener came from a corner, their eighth Premier League goal from one this campaign.
00:37The most ever by any side in their first 10 games.
00:4112 of their 18 goals have come from dead balls, a ratio no other team can match.
00:46It's not just about delivery, it's movement, precision and tactical fluency
00:51drilled relentlessly on the training ground.
00:56And defensively, well, they're relentless.
00:58Arsenal haven't conceded a goal since the 28th of September.
01:03Seven straight clean sheets in all comps, something last achieved in 1999.
01:09Keep another in Prague this week and they will match a defensive milestone set in 1903
01:14when Arsenal won eight consecutive matches without conceding a goal,
01:18highlighting a rare level of defensive consistency in the club's history.
01:23Rivals are giving them room to move too.
01:26Liverpool's early surge has dissolved into stumbles while Manchester City remain inconsistent.
01:32For once the opportunity is not shrinking as winter nears, it's widening.
01:38But Arsenal know better than anyone the danger of premature celebration.
01:42Recently, hope has been a balloon repeatedly punctured in spring.
01:46Now this feels sturdier as former champions still adjusting to life as hunters again.
01:52Liverpool will arrive at the Emirates later this month with their own point to prove,
01:57a major checkpoint in the title race.
02:00This isn't about believing they might win anymore,
02:03it's about confronting a moment that looks built for them.
02:06Arsenal have spent three seasons finishing second.
02:09The time has come to show they belong in first.
