ARSENAL 3 Burnley 1

Arsenal beat Burnley 3-1 on a fine afternoon on Emirates Stadium. Arsenal tried to dominate the game from the beginning. Tomas Rosicky had his shot over the bar and Cesc Fabregas saw his shoot wide from the target. Then Arsenal took lead on 33rd minutes after Samir Nasri lobbed the ball through four Burnley's player and Cesc Fabregas hits the ball low between Brian Jensen's leg. 1-0 for "the Gunners". Not long after that goal, Cesc Fabregas is substituted by Abou Diaby. Wenger might want to rest Fabregas for next match against Porto. Two minutes later, Nicklas Bendtner had a very good chance after Eboue crossed the ball, but he missed it. And the 1-0 score remained until half time.
On the second half, Bendtner (again) had a great chance after Walcott sends the ball to the penalty area, but Bendtner heads it wide although he is unmarked. David Nugent shocked Emirates Stadium after equalizing the score, Thomas Vermaelen and Mikael Silvestre lost concentration and Nugent took that chance. But the 1-1 score only lasted 10 minutes, Theo Walcott dribbled the ball from right flank into the middle and placed the ball to the bottom left of the goal. 2-1 for Arsenal. After that goal, Arsenal had more than five chances but incredibly none of them become a goal. Burnley also had two chances but it saved by Almunia and over the bar. At least, Arsenal ensured the victory after Andrey Arshavin scored a goal in injury time. 3-1 for Arsenal. Arsenal now had the same points with Chelsea but had already played one games more than Chelsea
