“He was out of position already and i tried to dribble him out of the line before scoring another goal”- Arsenal Star Leandro Trossard reveals the ‘magical’ moment that made him shine against Burnley yesterday

“I attempted to dribble him out of the line before scoring another goal because he was out of position already,” says Arsenal player Leandro Trossard, recalling the “magical” moment that launched him to stardom against Burnley yesterday.

Burnley startles Arsenal into waking up, and Leandro Trossard makes an impression.

The emergency has been avoided. Or maybe Arsenal was just attempting to keep his eyes open.

After Burnley was unable to handle anything more dangerous than high balls into the box, Mikel Arteta’s team went back to winning ways in the league, although they flirted with relegation after allowing a clumsy equalizer and even managed to end a dull game with 10 men.

It was fairly dull following the match against Newcastle last weekend, with James Trafford clumsily fumbling at corners and Burnley’s defenders even losing aerial duels with Bukayo Saka.

Even Arteta, who was incensed at the authorities following that loss, could find humor in talking about Fábio Vieira’s dismissal for a terrible foul on Josh Brownhill. Arsene Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, remarked cynically, “VAR was right.” “It was the referee’s fault,” Mikel gave me a really encouraging response. Fantastic choice.

Despite having seven injured players out of the lineup, Arteta was happy with the outcome, which tied his team for first place with Manchester City.

Arsenal could concentrate on Leandro Trossard’s selflessness, their threat from set pieces, and their refusal to panic after Burnley equalized through Brownhill, all while ignoring Kai Havertz’s uninspired performance once again.

He connects everyone, in my opinion. Arteta says Trossard’s intelligence is pretty good. “I think he moves in a way that draws people in and gives them options and spaces.”

Because the spaces to attack were so small and the task was so challenging, he performed that really well today. He presented us with a number of challenges as well as chances for interaction and space-finding.

“If needed, he puts his body in danger, and that’s the end of it.” It’s the Emirates’ 1,000th goal, which is a wonderful milestone.

“I’m really happy with him. He is a great threat, and I think he plays well anywhere you ask him to, whether it’s wide or as a nine. Therefore, I’m happy with him.

The fact that Burnley, who are still in 19th place, were not destroyed by brilliant passing disappointed Vincent Kompany. After neutralizing Trossard’s opening shot, they might have gained momentum, but their defense is still far too young.

Trossard’s corner was headed in by William Saliba for Arsenal to take a one-goal lead thanks to some careless goalkeeping by Trafford. Oleksandr Zinchenko then punished even more careless defending to seal the victory. “Set pieces will tell the story in this game,” Kompany said.

For us, the key is figuring out if we had momentum and moments. It was a composed and well-executed performance. However, the setback and timing of the objectives will make us more discerning.

Arsenal’s opponents were enthusiastic, but their lack of quality in both boxes was evident, and it took them some time to settle into their rhythm. The first eight minutes of Arteta’s team’s game were lost because of their silence. Zeki Amdouni’s effort was, however, saved by David Raya, who was alert and flying to his left.

Arsenal was lethargic. Burnley first managed to curb Saka’s power, but they failed to notice Martin Odegaard’s steady decline. Saka, who had been deemed fit after hobbling off during Sevilla’s victory during the midweek, initially found it difficult to control the ball.

Saka let out his frustration with Arsenal’s poor passing with their first on-target effort. Havertz, showing yet another lack of conviction, looked upset at having blown a clear-cut opportunity.

The Germans are still having trouble; later on, a strong counterattack was thwarted by a careless pass. Arsenal did not have it easy, even though Trossard managed to get off a shot. After Johann Berg Gudmundsson took advantage of Saliba’s error, they might have fallen behind, but Raya prevented it.

Arsenal began holding Burnley at bay. Trossard, who was replacing Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah on the bench, beat Trafford with a brave header after Saka nodded Zinchenko’s ball across goal. Burnley was left wondering how they had let two of the smallest players in the game have the ball in the air.

Trafford was oddly reluctant to come off his line and claim crosses, which allowed Arsenal to take advantage of this weakness frequently.

Burnley tied the score thanks to a brilliant move by Arsenal. It was an easy way to keep things from getting too dramatic. Early in the second half, Arsenal had brought on Burnley, threatening to bring it on themselves.

Luca Koleosho’s challenge on Takehiro Tomiyasu was upheld by VAR, and Brownhill’s shot found its way past Gabriel Magalhes.

Is a meltdown imminent? Not precisely. Gabriel Martinelli immediately put Trafford to the test after breaking down the left. Saliba scored from a yard out after Trafford flapped from Trossard’s corner. Zinchenko calmly put a shot past Trafford after Trossard’s corner gave Arsenal more pressure. Vieira’s late red card only heightened the tension.
