Goal-scoring honors went to Leandro Trossard, William Saliba, and Oleksandr Zinchenko.
A noteworthy change in Arsenal's pre-match lineup saw Oleksandr Zinchenko replacing Ben White in defense. Despite concerns about fitness following an injury in the Champions League win over Sevilla, Bukayo Saka retained his starting position alongside Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Before halftime, Arsenal broke the deadlock with Saka's headed effort across goal, finding Leandro Trossard, who skillfully bundled the ball into the net. In the second half, Burnley responded strongly, with Josh Brownhill leveling the score after Luca Koleosho's impressive play set up a chance that broke to the Clarets' captain.
Arsenal swiftly regained control when William Saliba's close-range header restored their lead. The Gunners extended their advantage further with Oleksandr Zinchenko's well-executed volley, capitalizing on Dara O’Shea's own-goal scare.
In spite of securing the victory, Arsenal encountered a setback during the closing stages when substitute Fabio Vieira received a straight red card. This disciplinary action resulted from a high challenge on Brownhill, subsequently reducing Arsenal to 10 men on the field.
The incident marred an otherwise successful match for the Gunners, highlighting the challenges they navigated to secure the win.
