Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Arsenal FC vs Burnley FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Arsenal FC are deployed in a 4-3-3 today, looking to exploit space against Burnley FC's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 10' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Arsenal FC and Burnley FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 15' Burnley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 20' William Saliba has been relatively quiet despite scoring 13 goals in his last 427 appearances.
  • 25' Supporters expect more eagerness from Bukayo Saka, as he is very good at scoring at Emirates Stadium with 51 goals in the last 38 games.
  • 28' A moment of madness from Hannibal Mejbri on 28 minutes earns him a card. Burnley FC will be frustrated.
  • 33' Chimuanya Ugochukwu has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 37' Magnificent from Kai Havertz! That is 115 goals in 541 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 42' Jaidon Anthony is a natural forward and has been asked to do a very specific job for Arsenal FC tonight.
  • 47' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both Arsenal FC and Burnley FC are desperate not to drop points on matchday .
  • 52' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
  • 57' Riccardo Calafiori has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 0 cards already picked up this season.
  • 62' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Arsenal FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 67' Arsenal FC receives a card for a hard tackle on 67.
  • 72' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 77' Loum Tchaouna, a France forward, has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 82' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 87' It looks surprising Burnley FC does not make any changes. David Raya has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 90' Zian Flemming was booked on 90.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. Arsenal FC take all three points.
