The Gunners faced Burnley in this weekend in the Premier League. It was a comfortable win for the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals and Alex Iwobi sealed the victory for the home side. Mesut Ozil was back in the side and he played a phenomenal football on Saturday to outclass Sean Dyche’s Burnley. Ashley Barnes scored the solitary goal for Burnley. Arsenal won the match with a margin of 3-1.

Chelsea were defeated by Leicester City at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The match was dominated by Chelsea in terms of possession. However, the buildup of the Blues were too slow in this match. Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso’s shots hit the bar and it was not the day in the office for the Blues as they conceded their first home defeat of the season against Leicester City. Jamie Vardy was clinical in front of the Goal. James Maddison provided a brilliant ball towards the English centre forward. Antonio Rudiger missed the ball Vardy got some free space to shoot. His shot was on target and Kepa Arrizabalaga had nothing to do with it.
