Arsenal make a drama out of the routine of beating Burnley

Arsenal 2 Burnley 1

But straightforward it wasn’t, going down to 10 men, before conceding and then scoring injury-time penalties and having manager Arsene Wenger sent off.

That was not in the game-plan and would have seemed too fantastical after a goalless first half, but Burnley were left with a bad sense of deja vu after they were deprived of a point by a controversial last-minute Arsenal goal for the second time this season.
