Arsenal took advantage of Tottenham's stumble as they beat Burnley 3-1 to move one point above their north London rivals into second place.
Mikel Arteta's team,
beaten at Newcastle last weekend, took the lead on the stroke of half-time.
Bukayo Saka headed
across goal for Leandro Trossard to bundle home Arsenal's 1,000th goal at the
Emirates Stadium since their move from Highbury in 2006.
Burnley levelled in
the 54th minute when Josh Brownhill fired home via a deflection off Arsenal
defender Gabriel.
But William Saliba's
close-range header three minutes later put Arsenal back in control and
Oleksandr Zinchenko volleyed the Gunners' third in the 74th minute.
Arsenal were reduced
to 10 men in the 83rd minute when Fabio Vieira was shown a straight red card
after catching Brownhill on the knee.
