Arsenal Beats Burnley to Strengthen Premier League Lead

Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Burnley to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League at the start of the tenth round. Mikel Arteta's team, with goals from Viktor Gyökeres and Declan Rice, dominated from start to finish, once again demonstrating the solidity and consistency that make them title contenders. The match had a clear frontrunner from the beginning: Burnley barely managed to cross the halfway line and didn't register any shots in the first half, while Arsenal took possession and struck when the opportunity arose. The score was opened in the 15th minute from a corner kick taken by Rice, which Gabriel Magalhães flicked onto the near post, and Gyökeres headed it in for the 1-0. With this win, the home team climbed to the middle of the table and moved away from the relegation zone. In other matches of the round, Fulham thrashed Wolves 3-0, with Wolves remaining in last place. Crystal Palace defeated Brentford 2-0, and Brighton beat Leeds United 3-0, with both teams starting to compete for a place in European competitions.
