Post-match views from the forum:

AberGooner: “Job done and back up to 2nd. It’s been a good day for us.

I thought we played a lot better in that second half. We where lethal on the corners, played some fantastic balls into the box. Zinchenko, Trossard and Saliba the stand outs overall for me.”

Blood on the Tracks: “Fairly workmanlike performance. Good result that I never really felt was in doubt even when they equalised.

Funny that we bullied a Burnley team from set pieces too.

You can’t play both Havertz and Tomi on the right though. It kills Saka, he gets no support offensively at all. Tomi just isn’t good going forward and Havertz is generally rubbish.”

Yousif Arsenal: “We need to find solutions at home against deep blocks it really require so much patience and being clever to break teams it’s demanding and boring

Every team coming here doing this so we need to do something.”
