EPL: Burnley, Arsenal tie ends in stalemate

The Gunners failed to build on their early lead at Turf Moor.

Arsenal blew yet another chance to move up from 10th position on the English Premier League [EPL] standings as they could only record a 1-1 draw against Burnley on Saturday at Turf Moor in the weekend’s early kickoff.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put the Gunners in front barely six minutes into the game off an assist from Brazilian star, Willian.

However, instead of building on that bright start, Arsenal were pegged back and then Granit Xhaka had a moment to forget at Turf Moor, handing Burnley an equaliser in bizarre circumstances in the 40th minute

Xhaka had the ball in his own box and passed it across the face of goal, seemingly not seeing Chris Wood standing on the six-yard line. The ball hit Wood’s hip and bounced straight into the net to make it 1-1.

With Saturday’s gaffe, Xhaka has now made more errors leading to goals (8) than any other outfield player in the Premier League since the start of the 2016/17 season.

The Gunners were perhaps unlucky not to take all three points from the game as they saw a penalty not given, then one that was given was overturned by VAR. Both incidents involved Erik Pieters and Nicolas Pepe in the final 15 minutes of the match.

Hard as both teams tried, the points were eventually shared at Turf Moor despite an action-packed finish to the game.

While Arsenal are rooted in the 10th position with 38 points from 27 games, Burnley keep their survival bid on track with 30 points from 28 games, seven clear off the relegation zone.
