Burnley's home defeat to Arsenal has given Mikel Arteta's side an even clearer path to the Premier League title. In a dominant display, goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice secured the 2-0 victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.
Despite some concerns raised by former Arsenal player Paul Merson after substitute Marcus Edwards' late free-kick rattled the post, Merson described the Gunners as "unbeatable" with their defensive solidity and quality. "They defend so well," he said, highlighting the exceptional display from Declan Rice, who scored his first goal for the club in a 9/10 performance.
Arsenal's impressive form has led to them winning nine consecutive games without conceding in all competitions. This achievement not only puts Mikel Arteta's side firmly at the top of the Premier League table but also sets them up well for their upcoming fixtures, including their next game against Manchester United.
The victory was marred by an injury to Viktor Gyokeres after a muscular issue forced him off the field at halftime. However, despite this setback, Arsenal continued to dominate possession and create scoring opportunities throughout the match.
Arteta praised his team's first-half display as "one of the best" that they have played, highlighting their defensive solidity and ability to generate chances through set-piece attacks. The manager acknowledged that his side can drop standards if they try to play more forward in certain situations but emphasized that defensively, they were exceptional throughout the match.
For Burnley manager Scott Parker, the defeat was a hard pill to swallow, especially after struggling to deal with Arsenal's set-piece threats. "If you don't have those players, you probably don't score as many as what Arsenal are scoring," he said in the aftermath of the match.
As Arsenal continue their impressive form, fans will be eagerly anticipating their next game against Manchester United and beyond.

I mean, Arsenal is on fire! They're so solid defensively and their set-piece attacks are unreal. Declan Rice's goal was sick, he's been on a roll lately. 
Mikel Arteta's tactics are really paying off. And yeah, Burnley just can't seem to catch a break right now. 
Scott Parker needs to figure out how to deal with those set-piece threats or it's gonna be a tough season for his team. 
I'm excited to see what the rest of the season holds for Arsenal! They're gonna make a deep run in the Champions League if they keep this up. 
. And let's be real, their defense might be solid, but they're also really reliant on set-piece attacks – it's not exactly a well-rounded team. 
. He should be focusing on how to improve their overall game, not making excuses. And Arteta saying they can drop standards if they try to play more forward? Yeah, because that's never happened before in football history 
.
They're on fire right now and it's great to see Arteta's team playing so solidly, especially with that Declan Rice performance 
. And, I feel bad for Burnley, gotta catch them on a bad day like that 
.
9 consecutive games without conceding is insane 
. I mean, who needs goals when you can just shut down the opposition? 
Burnley's got some work to do if they wanna keep up with these Gunners 
.
:
+25 points in the table
, and it's anyone's game but the Gunners for now 
. That defeat will sting for them. Parker should focus on strengthening their defense rather than trying to compete with Arsenal's attack 
️.
declan rice scored his first goal for the club and it was a 9/10 performance if i do say so myself 
and it's getting hard to see anyone stopping them now! 
but seriously, the gunners are playing some of the best football in the premier league right now 
They're on fire right now! 9 games without a loss? That's just crazy talk! Arteta's got them playing like a well-oiled machine 
, and Declan Rice is the real MVP 
. As for Burnley, tough break on Gyokeres 
! 9 games without a loss? That's crazy! Their defensive solidity is for real, Declan Rice was a beast out there 
. Declan Rice's first goal for the club was a highlight of the match - he's definitely stepped up his game 
they're dominating everyone and it's hard to see anyone stopping them now. mikel arteta's tactics are spot on and declan rice is a game changer 
. And what's with Burnley's set-piece defense? 
. Their defense is solid 
and they're actually scoring goals too 
. And let's be honest, Burnley just didn't stand a chance 
.
! Their defensive solidity is insane 
and that free-kick by Marcus Edwards almost scored lol 
Burnley just can't seem to stop them 
i mean burnley had some good moments but arsenal just dominated the game overall 
. It's no wonder they're winning games without conceding, right?
