Comments:

League position: 2nd Arsenal had now won their first two games of a season in the Premier League for the first time since 2009-10. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had now scored seven goals in four appearances against Burnley in the Premier League; more than he had scored against any other team in the division. The Gunners had now lost one of their last 26 games in the Premier League when they scored the opening goal (won 21).

Comments:

League position: 9th Burnley failed in their attempt to win their first two games in a top division season for the first time since 1973-74 in League Division One and first two games in any division for the first time since 2006-07 in the League Championship. Only Sadio Mané (15) and Sergio Agüero (14) had now scored more goals in the Premier League in 2019 than Ashley Barnes (12). Sean Dyche had lost all nine of his Premier League games against Arsenal as a manager to equal Gary Megson's competition record (against Liverpool) of the highest total for losing all games against the same opponents in the division.
