Arsenal Player Ratings at Burnley as Gunners go seven points clear 

First half goals from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice ensured the Gunners fifth Premier League win on the bounce, to make it a mere three goals conceded in ten games. 

Here's View From The Armchair with his Player Ratings after Arsenal beat Burnley 2-0 

David Raya: 7.5/10 - Premier League's finest Libero had a little gallivant upfield like Bobby Moore in his prime at the tail end of the first half, almost desperate to get on the scoresheet himself it seems. Exudes confidence.

Jurrien Timber: 7.5/10 - you ain’t gonna nick his pocket money, the steely glare was enough of a sign before a ball was kicked, I jotted this thought down on 10 mins, this is the aura of the man.

William Saliba: 7/10 - Rolls Royce No2 looking splendid in the white third away kit, gave Burnley absolutely nothing, nada, zip, diddly squat, to dine on all day. Magnificent.

Gabriel: 7/10 - assist at the back post for the first goal from the corner, too big, too powerful, too organised for Burnley. Can see them physically wilt the longer the game wears on, dejected.

Riccardo Calafiori: 7/10 - wanders all over the place, looks good doing it when he does. At 2-0 up with the job done, Arteta saves him for another day, and Hincapie gets his chance to shine, and bed in with this team, I’m loving the rotation for freshness here

Eberechie Eze: 7/10 - gonna be a spotlight on him, he didn’t do this he didn’t do that, I don’t care if he’s quiet, keep him on the pitch until he finds his best form, replaced on 71 minutes.

Martin Zubimendi: 7.5/10 - solid as he always is, key component in our march to greatness, replaced by Christian Norgaard with 14 minutes left - important he gets his rest. Just makes the game look effortlessly easy.

Declan Rice: 9/10 - dominant, commanding, imperious game in midfield, 34 minutes he powers a header home to make it 2-0 in a move that started from a Burnley corner, MOTM performance from our super half price midfielder.

Bukayo Saka: 7.5/10 - wreaked havoc down the right, benefits every time Gyokeres creates space for him with his runs, workmanlike in the second half with the job pretty much done.

Viktor Gyokeres  7.5/10 - 14 minutes, the Swedish poacher with the box fresh skin fade does what he does, Set piece FC from the corner, it’s 1-0, subbed on 46 minutes, injured or rested I’m unsure, hopefully the latter.

Leo Trossard: 8/10 - 32 minutes cleared off the line after some good work from Gyokeres and Saka, our Belgian goal machine is on fire, assist for Rice’s header, played well, pushed Rice for MOTM from my view.

Substitutes:

Mikel Merino: 7.5/10 - replaced Gyokeres up front (46) if he’s been bought on to rest Gyokeres I’m loving the psychological damage this will do to our opponents, just throw a midfielder on up front for the second half with the job done, I love it.

Ethan Nwaneri: 8/10 - 20 minutes to show he deserves a starting place in the first 11, made his impact in truth, surging run and shot went very close to scoring the third.

Piero Hincapie: 7/10 - replaced Calafiori on 72 minutes, confidence high, sending out a message to the Premier League every time he does, the strength in depth is very much on display at Turf Moor

Myles Lewis Skelly: 7/10 - let’s get this lad some minutes shall we, introduced for his 50th appearance with six minutes added time left, just enough time to maintain our clean sheet run.

Christian Norgaard: 7.5/10 - comes on for Zubimendi on 77 minutes, produces a great save from the keeper as the clock wears down, as he looks to fire his first goal for the Gunners.

View From The Armchair Verdict:

That’s a wrap from the armchair as the Gnners march on with a 2-0 win. It’s a time to enjoy the clean sheets, and the jealousy of every other fan of every other team in the league as set piece FC do their thing again.

Don’t get too high, and don’t get too low, they don’t dish out medals in November last time I checked.

That said, there is definitely room to believe, such is the confidence this squad is displaying, and that comes from the top in the manner the gaffer is shuffling this pack - they are literally chomping at the bit to get minutes, we move, COYG!
