Visiting Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice then tried their luck, but both only challenged the defending players in front of them. Burnley threatened for the first time in the 27th minute, but Aaron Ramsey’s attempt did not surprise David Raya.

At the other end, Leandro Trossard shot but it was just wide of the target. The Belgian winger was fouled in the 42nd minute and Arsenal kicked a penalty. England international Saka took the ball and was lucky to get it through Trafford’s hands.

Arsenal continued to put on a show after the change of sides

The Gunners went into the booths having not let their opponents do anything serious and leading 2:0. And the dominance continued apace, with Arsenal’s third goal added just after the change of sides by Saka, this time to the right post.

The Gunners continued to play comfortably, with another goal from Kai Havertz, although this time the goalkeeper could have done more. It was the 11th goal for Arsenal in the last two away games, the last time he scored six for West Ham.
