Arsenal dominated Turf Moor with two first-half headers from Viktor Gyökeres and Declan Rice, turning set-pieces and incisive counters into a 2-0 victory. The win extended their Premier League streak to five straight and kept a seventh consecutive clean sheet.

Gabriel and Saliba were rock-solid at the back, David Raya barely troubled, while Trossard and the youngsters provided constant attacking threat. The match showcased Arsenal’s growing reliance on corners, counter-attacks and defensive steel.

Up next: a Champions League trip to Slavia Prague on November 4, then a Premier League test at Sunderland on November 8.
