Highlights

That's all from us, hang around for more coverage of this afternoon's Premier League fixtures.

90+6'

That's it, that's the whistle. 3-1 to Arsenal and quite the Christmas present after a fairly unpleasant week for the North Londoners.

90+3

Now Ashley Westwood has been booked for doth protesting too much, it seems.

90+1'

GOAL! Alex Iwobi is the beneficiary of an assist by Ozil on the edge of the box. Burnley think it's offside but the linesmen don't agree. 3-1 to Arsenal.

90+1

Yikes, five minutes if extra time to be played.

89'

Good interception by Sokratis who plays it forward to Iwobi. Iwobi can't make anything of it, but Arsenal are at leat in the right half, now. They need to be careful not to fall foul of a counter-attack.

87'

A tense few minutes left to play out here at the Emirates, Arsenal will no doubt be worried.

83'

Burnley bring on Matthew Lowton who replaces Phil Bardsley.

82'

Now Maitland-Niles is on the ground after getting a knock on the head in a challenge. This second half has certaily been a physical one.

80'

Lacazette clearly unhappy with that decision as he looks to be getting a little irritable.

78'

Lacazette is also replaced now and Alex Iwobi comes on. The Frenchman looks a little dejected.

78'

A double substitution by Burnley as Barnes comes off, presumably before he gets sent off, as does Wood, to be replaced by Vokes and Vydra.

72'

Westwood goes for an accrobatic tackle on Xhaka, leaping over him and knocking him down head-first in the process. He gets a talking to from the ref, but no yellow card.

71'

Burnley are back in the game now, putting pressure on Arsenal who are a little exposed at times in the midfield.

69'

Barnes squanders an opportunity to equalise after flooring Lichsteiner in the box as he's open for a shot on goal.

63'

GOAL! Ashley Barnes scores as he picks up a ball just on the edge of the six yard box. He shouldn't be on the pitch, but there you go. 2-1.

61'

The free kick for Arsenal outside the 18 yard box is taken by Torreira who curls it wide of the post.

61'

A yellow card for Ben Mee, now, and for Jack Cork. Is that five yellow cards now?
