Arsenal 2-1 Burnley…

Relive our dramatic win against Burnley at home on Sunday after Alexis Sanchez netted a penalty deep into injury time to keep our title hopes alive.

Shkodran Mustafi gave is the lead shortly after half-time, but our task was made even harder after Jon Moss showed Granit Xhaka a straight red for the second time this season.

Upon analysing the replay, Xhaka had little to complain about given the recklessness of his challenge on Steven Defour. However, when Jon Moss pointed to the spot in injury time to award Burnley a penalty, the Emirates erupted with anger.

Francis Coquelin made little contact with Ashley Barnes, and Arsene Wenger’s protests saw him sent off too.

We needed someone to stand up and be counted and after Laurent Koscielny was kicked in the head, the linesman waved his flag to signal a penalty.

Alexis stepped up and delivered a panenka at the most heated point of the game.
