Seventh Straight Clean Sheet for Arsenal - and a Rare Goal from Open Play

Arsenal once again proved why they sit atop the Premier League, securing a comfortable 2–0 away win over Burnley. The result marked the Gunners’ seventh consecutive clean sheet in the league — and their ninth shutout across all competitions.
Viktor Gyökeres opened the scoring in the 14th minute, heading home from a corner — Arsenal’s eighth goal from a set piece this season, underlining their growing reputation as one of the most dangerous sides in England from dead-ball situations.
Declan Rice doubled the visitors’ advantage later in the game with a fine strike — his first goal of the season — sealing another professional performance for Mikel Arteta’s men.
