Burnley eventually established themselves in the game with some headed efforts after riding some early pressure from the visitors.

Jeff Hendrick and James Tarkowski were most culpable of missing with headers as the duo failed to hit the target from close range, while forward Jay Rodriguez also missed as the volley of his went against the underside of the bar where he should have scored.

Meanwhile, Arsenal extend their unbeaten run to seven games in all competitions, as well as being unbeaten in seven successive Premier League away games.

The Gunners, however, were uninspiring for long periods of the games while also failed to gain a boost from the return of skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang after a three-match ban.

It was the skipper himself who had their best chances, miscuing when put through by David Luiz and later heading wide.

The skipper was also involved in the Gunners' bright start, crossing for Alexandre Lacazette, who failed to hit the target with a header, then shooting horribly wide when set free by Luiz's long ball.
