High-five Arsenal keep Liverpool in sight
BURNLEY, February 17
Bukayo Saka scored either side of halftime as Arsenal crushed second-from-bottom Burnley 5-0 at Turf Moor today to go second and keep the pressure on Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Martin Odegaard opened the scoring in the fourth minute, shooting left-footed from outside the box into the bottom right corner, and Saka made it 2-0 from the penalty spot in the 41st after a foul on Leandro Trossard.
Saka claimed his second two minutes after the break for his 12th league goal of the campaign, Trossard made it 4-0 and Kai Havertz added a fifth as Arsenal cruised to a fifth straight win in 2024.
Earlier, Mohamed Salah scored on his return from injury as Liverpool won race 4-1 win at Brentford. Wolverhampton Wanderers put a dent in Tottenham Hotspur’s top-four ambitions as they won 2-1 at Spurs. — Reuters
