Last year's summer window made targeted reinforcements, and Arsenal's squad strength was improved to a higher level. However, the Gunners' consistency has not improved substantially, and after 24 rounds of matches, they have collected 52 points, which is not the advantage against Manchester City and Liverpool. In order to compete for the coveted Premier League title, Arsenal will have to win more games and then expect their rivals to make mistakes. This weekend, the 25th round of the Premier League kicks off, and Arsenal travel to take on Burnley, who are second from bottom in the table and are a veritable soft persimmon. Arsenal, who won by 6 goals in the last round, continued to kill in this game, Saka scored twice, Odegaard scored a goal, Trossard and Havertz scored a goal each, defeated the opponent 5-0, and won five consecutive league wins.
There was a gap in quality between the two sides, but Mikel Arteta continued to play with the main line-up, with Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard in the trident, Kai Havertz, Declan Rice and Odegaard in midfield, Kiwior at left-back, and Gabriel, Saliba and Ben White in a back four, with Raya continuing to guard the back of the net.
Only 4 minutes into the opening game, Rice advanced with the ball and then distributed to the left side, Martinelli rushed to the horse, the inverted triangle pass was sent to the top of the penalty area, Odegaard outflanked it, and immediately after stopping the ball, he shot low, and the ball drilled into the bottom right corner, 1-0! In the 12th minute, Arsenal continued their efforts, Saka's through ball from the right broke through the Burnley defence, and Trossard cut in to form a one-on-one knife, which was saved by Trafford when he got past the goalkeeper.
In the 35th minute, Rice crossed long over the top into the box, Havertz stopped the ball too hard, and Saka cut in in time, but Trossard flanked and pushed the ball into the air. In the 39th minute, Arsenal played a wonderful combination, Odegaard instigated a direct pass, Havertz split the ball with his heel, Trossard inserted a one-knife volley and was brought down, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty. Bukayo Saka played the ball into the bottom right corner and Trafford judged the right direction, but the angle was too tricky to prevent the ball from going into the net, 2-0.
Back on the pitch, Arsenal quickly killed the game. In the 47th minute, Havertz split the ball in front, Odegaard followed the diagonal stopper, Saka inserted on the right, and shot into the top corner from a small angle, completing a brace, 3-0! Bukayo Saka has made 32 appearances this season with a big double-double of 15 goals and 12 assists, and the number of goals scored has equaled last season, which is worth 1200 million euros. It is worth mentioning that the 22-year-old Saka has 53 goals and 49 assists after 211 Premier League games, making a total of 102 goals, while Ronaldo has 50 goals and 43 assists in the same period.
