Arteta described the first half as exceptional, highlighting the team's strong start, two goals, and several scoring opportunities. He noted that the team's defense was also solid.

Despite a strong start, Arsenal's performance dropped in the second half, particularly in terms of ball control and forward momentum. However, the team maintained their defensive solidity.

Burnley struggled to create scoring chances, with their first effort coming from a Florentino Luis header in the 73rd minute and a Marcus Edwards free-kick that hit the post in stoppage time.

Gyokeres scored the opening goal from a corner kick, extending Arsenal's league-leading tally of set-piece goals this season to 12.

Arteta praised Gyokeres for his performance, which was one of his best for the team. However, the Sweden striker may be doubtful for the Champions League match against Slavia Prague due to a muscle strain.

Arteta highlighted Gyokeres' exceptional play, including his pressing, positioning, and ball control. He was forced to replace Gyokeres at halftime due to the injury.
