Overview
- Arsenal won 2-0 at Burnley through Viktor Gyokeres’ 14th-minute finish from a corner and a Declan Rice header from Leandro Trossard’s cross.
- Gyokeres was withdrawn at half-time after feeling something muscular, with Mikel Merino replacing him, and Arteta confirmed the striker will be assessed.
- Martin Zubimendi asked to be substituted in the second half, with updates pending, while independent analysis profiled his issue as likely fatigue-related.
- Injury analyst Physio Scout suggested Gyokeres’ problem could be tightness or a Grade 1 strain, indicating anything from days out to roughly 2–4 weeks, though no club timeline has been set.
- The result extended Arsenal’s lead to seven points and sustained notable trends: eight goals from corners in their first 10 league matches per Squawka, plus a seven-game clean-sheet win streak noted by The Times.
