Arsenal v Burnley | Premier League Highlights

Burnley defeated in the capital

Burnley produced a brave and spirited display, but came up just short against Arsenal on Monday night.

Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the game at the Emirates Stadium, as Mikel Arteta's side ground out a key victory in their pursuit of the Premier League title.

Havertz was lucky to still be on the pitch midway through the second half though, when a VAR check adjudged his studs up challenge down the back of Lesley Ugochukwu's calf to only warrant a booking, when replays suggested it appeared worthy of a red.

On a balmy night in the capital, the Clarets started brightly and won a couple of early corners, with Florentino’s strike fizzing just wide of David Raya’s goal, in what was a positive start for the visitors.

Arsenal soon grew into the clash and began to apply pressure on the away side, with Leandro Trossard’s stinging effort from outside the area bouncing off the post.
