Comments:

League position: 15th Burnley remained without a win in their last six home games in the Premier League. The Clarets had now drawn five consecutive league games at Turf Moor for the first time since October 1997 in League Division 2. Chris Wood had now scored more goals for Burnley at Turf Moor in the Premier League than any other player (22). Erik Pieters was shown a red card after 84 minutes but was withdrawn following a VAR review due to a handball offence not being committed.

Comments:

League position: 10th Arsenal had now failed to keep a clean sheet in their last eight games in all competitions. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's goal (timed at five minutes and 11 seconds) became the Gunners' quickest goal in an away game in the Premier League since Theo Walcott scored at Manchester City on 18 December 2016 (four minutes and six seconds). Aged 19 years and 182 days, Bukayo Saka became the youngest player to make 50 league appearances for Arsenal since Cesc Fabregas (18 years and 236 days against Charlton Athletic in the Premier League on 26 December 2005). Arsenal were awarded a penalty after 84 minutes but was reversed after a VAR review due to a handball offence not being committed.
