    Arsenal lose 4 consecutive home games for the first time since 1959 and Burnley beat the Gunners for the first time ever in the Premier League! It was a much improved performance from the North London side in the second half, but their finishing was still poor. When Xhaka's sending off reduced Arsenal to 10 men, Burnley had a licence to go for it a bit more - an opportunity they took with both hands, lifting them out of the relegation zone.

    It's close at the near post but Burnley hack it away!

    GOOOOAAAALLL!!! Things go from bad to worse for Arsenal! A free-kick is taken by Westwood near the corner spot, Brownhills heads it on from the near post and Aubameyang helps it on into his own goal!

    Burnley try to take a free-kick and Arsenal almost have another midfielder sent off as the VAR officials notice him using his hands to hold off Tarkowski, who's gone down holding his head. The referee doesn't bother to go to his monitor this time though and Elneny and escapes with a yellow.

    Another attacking sub for Burnley. This time Matej Vydra replaces Wood.
    69'
    Tierney finds Aubameyang over the top of the Burnley defence with a ball from deep. He tries to chip it over Pope, who palms it away and the flag is finally raised for offside.
    67'
    SAVED!! Rare chance for Burnley as Mee runs onto a pass intended for McNeil and has a shot stopped by Leno.
    65'
    Arsenal so far seem unfazed by Xhaka's dismissal as Aubameyang wins a corner from another promising attack.
