Another Arsenal late show sinks Burnley

Burnley 0 Arsenal 1: Alexis Sanchez kept his composure to defeat Burnley with a last-minute penalty, again, but an important Arsenal victory that lifted Arsene Wenger’s side into the top four also offered a painful vision of their future.

Without Mesut Ozil, ruled out with illness, the Gunners lacked the guile and trickery to break down a superbly-marshalled Burnley defence.

And the prospect of losing both the German playmaker and the match-winning Chilean striker cannot fill any Arsenal supporters with enthusiasm.
