Arsenal 5-0 Burnley: 5 Talking Points

#3 Aubameyang and Lacazette start together

Both Aubameyang and Lacazette scored in the 5-0 win

With both his strikers firing in recent games - be it the league or in the Europa League - Wenger chose to start both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette together.

Although it wasn't a return to Wenger's roots at Arsenal with a classic 4-4-2, it did feel like one with both strikers causing trouble in the box.

Arsenal were lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation but Sead Kolasinac's wide runs allowed Aubameyang to drift in from the left while Lacazette occupied the right side of the box. On occasions, they would even switch flanks just to confuse Burnley.

Their constant movement - be it diagonal runs or dropping back to create space - worked perfectly as Lacazette's pass to the far post allowed Aubameyang to score the opening goal.

20 - Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has now scored 20+ league goals in each of his last three seasons in the Top 5 European Leagues (25 in 2015/16 and 31 in 2016/17). Poacher. pic.twitter.com/oI7VGoyiqV

Lacazette also managed to get on the scoresheet, netting at the end of the first half after some good work from Hector Bellerin on the right flank.
