Arteta Hails Arsenal Players After 5-0 Win Over Burnley

Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta has praised the determination and hunger of his team following their 5-0 win over Burnley at the Turf Moor Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners produced another impressive performance away from home after beating West Ham 6-0 at the London Stadium last Sunday.

Martin Odegaard gave the visitors an early lead before Bukayo Saka converted from the spot after Lorenz Assignon fouled Leandro Trossard in the box.

Further goals from Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz sealed the maximum points for the Gunners.

Mikel Arteta has reserved special praises for his players for another superb performance to boost their Premier League title hopes.

Arteta said: “I am happy with the performance, with the result and the individual and collective contribution of each player as well. That was very, very good.

“And the fact that the team looked like it wanted more. I wasn’t satisfied.

“They wanted to score more, they didn’t want to concede a goal. I’m pleased to hit that consistency.”

Arteta also hailed Bukayo Saka, for his recent scoring form following another brace against Burnley.

Arteta continued: “Yes, we don’t see it (in football). Especially forward players and wingers with that level of consistency and numbers.

“At his age, it is something really strange to find but it is not a coincidence when you look at him every single day.

“The way he trains, the way he applies himself, the qualities that he has. And he can do more.”

Saka has now scored six goals in his last four Premier League away games.

The Gunners will be back in action against Porto in the Uefa Champions League on Wednesday in the second round of the competition.
