Burnley 0-2 Arsenal: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes' post-match review of Burnley 0-2 Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday, 01 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, it was a tough day at the office for Burnley as they fell 0-2 to Arsenal at home. The Gunners, riding high on a three-game winning streak, showed their class with goals in the 14th and 35th minutes, leaving Burnley chasing shadows. Despite a spirited performance and recent wins against Wolves and Leeds, Burnley couldn't break down Arsenal's solid defence. The result wasn't a massive shock given Arsenal's form, but it's a blow for Burnley who were hoping to build on their recent successes.

Burnley's defence, usually solid, struggled to contain Arsenal's attacking threats. The Clarets had shown they could compete with the best, but today Arsenal's quality shone through. It's back to the drawing board for Vincent Kompany and his team, who will need to regroup quickly. On the other hand, Arsenal continue their impressive run, maintaining their position at the top of the table and showing no signs of slowing down.

The stats from the match paint a clear picture of Arsenal's dominance. With 54% possession and six corners compared to Burnley's one, the Gunners controlled the game. Arsenal's successful dribble percentage of 56% against Burnley's 36% further highlights their superiority on the ball. Despite Burnley's efforts, the stats suggest Arsenal deserved the win, with their control of the game evident throughout.

Interestingly, both teams made five substitutions, showing a willingness to change things up. However, it was Arsenal who made the most of their changes, maintaining their lead and keeping Burnley at bay. The yellow card count, with Burnley receiving two and Arsenal one, indicates a competitive match, but the stats overall reflect Arsenal's command of the game.

The key moments of the match came early, with Arsenal scoring in the 14th minute to set the tone. This early goal put Burnley on the back foot and forced them to chase the game. The second goal in the 35th minute sealed Arsenal's victory, showcasing their clinical finishing and ability to capitalise on opportunities.

These goals were the defining moments of the match, as Burnley struggled to respond. Despite their efforts, the Clarets couldn't find a way back into the game, and Arsenal's early strikes proved decisive. The Gunners' ability to score at crucial times was the difference, and it's a lesson for Burnley as they look to improve.

Burnley lined up in a 5-4-1 formation, with Martin Dúbravka in goal and a back five including Kyle Walker and Axel Tuanzebe. The midfield was anchored by Josh Cullen and Lesley Ugochukwu, with Jaidon Anthony and Zian Flemming leading the attack. Despite the solid lineup, Burnley struggled to create chances, with no assists recorded.

The five substitutions made by Vincent Kompany suggest a search for a spark, but none of the changes could turn the tide. The formation and lineup were not the issue, but rather Arsenal's quality and Burnley's inability to break them down. It's a learning curve for the team as they look to bounce back.

Arsenal opted for a 4-3-3 formation, with David Raya in goal and a strong backline featuring William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães. The midfield trio of Eberechi Eze, Martín Zubimendi, and Declan Rice provided control and creativity, while Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard supported Viktor Gyökeres up front. The lineup showcased Arsenal's strength and depth.

The five substitutions made by Mikel Arteta allowed for fresh legs and tactical adjustments, maintaining Arsenal's dominance. Declan Rice's goal was a standout moment, highlighting his importance to the team. The lineup and formation worked perfectly, and Arsenal's players executed their roles to perfection.

Declan Rice earns the title of Ladbrokes' Man of the Match for his standout performance against Burnley. Scoring the crucial goal in the 35th minute, Rice demonstrated his importance to Arsenal's midfield. With two key passes, he also played a significant role in maintaining Arsenal's control of the game. His contribution was pivotal in securing the victory for the Gunners.
