Arsenal scores in the 15th minute off a corner kick. 1-0, Arsenal over Burnley



This video doesn't fully capture the beauty of this play. It started with a Burnley throw in, which went into the box. Arsenal with a quick counter, and a great pass (shown on the video), then an excellent centering ball, and as well as an excellent finish with a header. Arsenal just does so many things well.

Draw. That's a shame.

This didn’t age too well.

This didn’t age too well.

Could've been worse. Regroup after the break and get 90% of our attacking force back in action. No international injuries, please!

Just remarkable that a single player could create so much pressure, especially when for the most part, the defenders were in good position, and these are elite level players. This really is an enjoyable watch:
