Martin Odegaard’s lone goal gave Arsenal their first away win of the season at Burnley on Saturday, September 18th, 2021.
The Norwegian curled home from a free-kick after Ashley Westwood had clipped Bukayo Saka on the edge of the area.
It was Odegaard’s first goal since joining the Gunners on a permanent basis from Real Madrid in a £30m deal last month.
Burnley were denied a chance to equalise from the penalty spot when referee Anthony Taylor overturned his initial decision after reviewing Aaron Ramsdale’s challenge on substitute Matej Vydra on the pitchside screen.
A second successive win eases Arsenal into mid-table following their poor start to the campaign, but Burnley remain second from bottom with a single point to show from their opening five games.
