Arsenal has maintained its unbeaten record since last September 13, as part of a series of 12 consecutive matches in various competitions, achieving its fifth consecutive victory in the league, raising its score to 25 points, 7 points ahead of runner-up Bournemouth, who plays host Manchester City on Sunday.
On the other hand, Burnley suffered its first loss after two victories, in a new real test after facing Leeds United and Wolverhampton, leaving its score frozen at 10 points in 17th place.
Arsenal settled the match in the first half when they opened the scoring through Gjokeres after he followed up with a close shot, a header pass from Brazilian defender Gabriel, who rose to the ball executed by Rice from a corner (14).

The Gunners continued their superiority in the second half, relatively speaking, without the two teams having great chances to change the course of the match, from which Arsenal emerged with a clean sheet for the seventh time in a row.
