Mikel Arteta press conference LIVE: Arsenal boss on Burnley, Gyokeres, Zubimendi and Rice

22 hours ago 21

Mikel Arteta is due to face the media after Arsenal’s victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. A win catalysed by another Gunners set piece.

Viktor Gyokeres scored the opener, nodding in Gabriel Magalhaes’ cut-back following yet another set piece from Declan Rice. The midfielder, however, turned scorer before the break, heading in his own chance, crossed by Leandro Trossard.

There was perhaps a concern, however, as Gyokeres was then taken off. He was struck in the face, and Martin Zubimendi also had to be substituted, which the Arsenal boss is sure to be quizzed on.

You can hear everything Arteta had to say on all that and much more with football.london's Arsenal reporter Tom Canton in our live blog below.

Arsenal player ratings vs Burnley – Declan Rice astonishing, Gyokeres critical among three 8/10s

Arsenal comfortably beat Burnley 2-0 at Turf Moor to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League.

The Gunners took the lead courtesy of yet another set piece. Declan Rice’s delivery far to the back post, where Gabriel’s right-footed return was headed into an open net by Viktor Gyokeres.

Rice then turned scorer, as the Swedish striker’s switch to Leandro Trossard was followed by a cross into the box for the England international to head past Martin Dubravka.
