Gunners dig deep for win
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta praised his players for rolling up their sleeves and digging out a 1- 0 win at Burnley.
Martin Odegaard’s first- half free- kick gave Arsenal the edge as they held on for a hard-fought win to further ease the pressure on Arteta.
The Gunners were grateful referee Anthony Taylor reversed his decision to award Burnley a second-half penalty after consulting VAR.
Arteta said: “It was a really hard-fought victory in a place where you have to be ready for a fight.
“We have players whose strength isn’t this kind of game but they adapted.”
