da dobrowin： Mikel Arteta's side were in rampant mood once again as they destroyed the relegation-threatened Clarets at Turf Moor
da fezbet： Bukayo Saka scored twice as a dominant Arsenal side smashed Burnley 5-0 at Turf Moor to move back to within two points of leaders Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's side were in rampant mood once again, just as they were at West Ham last time out, with the win meaning they have now started the calendar year with five successive league victories for the first time in the club's history. They have scored 21 goals in those five games, while conceding just two.
The exceptional Martin Odegaard set them on their way after just five minutes, drilling a superb finish into the bottom corner from the edge of the box. Saka then scored twice either side of half-time, the first from the penalty spot and the second with a thumping finish into the roof of the net from Odegaard's pass.
Leandro Trossard then added a fourth before Kai Havertz put the gloss on another impressive performance from the Gunners, finishing well after a fine solo run.
GOAL rates Arsenal's players from Turf Moor…
Getty ImagesGoalkeeper & Defence
David Raya (7/10):
Made one good stop in the first half from a tight angle. Distribution was good as always.
Ben White (7/10):
A player who has come back from the mid-season break transformed. Back to the levels he set last season.
William Saliba (7/10):
Had a good fight with Fofana. Didn't win all of his battles, but still had a strong game.
Gabriel Magalhaes (7/10):
You could see how much he enjoyed the physical battle with Fofana. Solid as always.
Jakub Kiwior (8/10):
Continued on from his good performances against Liverpool and West Ham. A player who looks full of confidence and who is loving his run in the side.

Declan Rice (8/10):
Dominated the midfield. Another player, like Odegaard, who is in exceptional form. Pushed Arsenal forward throughout.
Kai Havertz (8/10):
Burnley really struggled to pick up his runs from deep. His touch let him down at times when he got into some good positions in the first half, but it was another good display from the German who capped it off by scoring an excellent goal to make it 5-0.
Martin Odegaard (9/10):
Absolutely outstanding. Set the tone with his superb finish after just five minutes and went on to produce a masterclass in playmaking, just as he did at West Ham. A player in exceptional form.

Bukayo Saka (9/10):
Followed on from his excellent display at West Ham. Took his penalty well and caused the Burnley defence all sorts of problems all afternoon. Thumping finish to make it 3-0.
Leandro Trossard (7/10):
Won the penalty when he drove into the box. Should have scored when he missed his kick in the first half, but led the forward line really well. Deserved the goal he got in the second half after wasting another couple of good chances just before.
Gabriel Martinelli (7/10):
Set up the first goal with some superb play down the left and looked to stretch Burnley every time he got the ball.

Reiss Nelson (6/10):
Bright and lively. Looked to get involved.
Cedric Soares (6/10):
Put himself about after replacing White.
Eddie Nketiah (6/10):
Sent one header wide after being picked out by Martinelli.
Jorginho (N/A):
Gave Rice a breather late on.
Emile Smith Rowe (N/A):
Got a run out for the final 10 minutes after returning from injury.
Mikel Arteta (8/10):
Another perfect day for the Arsenal boss. He called for his side to show consistency and that's what they are doing. He was able to once again bring players off early to rest them ahead of the Champions League.
