Arsenal made it two wins in two matches to start the Premier League season as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goal secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates Stadium today.

Alexandre Lacazette’s early opener was cancelled out by Ashley Barnes in the 43rd minute as Burnley’s direct approach caused Arsenal problems.

But Aubameyang struck a fine goal from outside the box in the 64th minute to secure victory for the Gunners.

It is the first time Arsenal have won their opening two games of a Premier League season in 10 years.

Arsenal took the lead in the 13th minute as Lacazette got the ball with his back to goal from a corner, and held off two defenders, as he turned and finished while falling to the ground.

But Burnley responded well to the setback and regularly threatened from set-pieces.

Arsenal managed to survive and went close as Nick Pope saved from Joe Willock and Matteo Guendouzi.
