Arsenal Extend Winning Streak to Nine Despite Gyokeres Injury Concerns

Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Burnley, maintaining their lead in the Premier League and extending a run of clean sheets to seven across all competitions. Viktor Gyokeres played a key role in the first half, scoring the opening goal from a corner and assisting in the second, before being substituted at half-time due to a muscular niggle, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressing cautious optimism while awaiting further assessment of his injury. Martin Zubimendi was also substituted with a muscle issue. Arteta praised both Gyokeres for his exceptional first-half performance and Declan Rice for his evolution and impact during the game. Despite the injury concerns, Arsenal remain in strong form as they prepare for upcoming fixtures including a Champions League match against Slavia Prague and a Premier League game against Sunderland. The team is currently six points clear at the top of the league, even with several forwards sidelined by injury.
