14: Johann Berg Gudmundsson stings the palms of Petr Cech with a powerful shot after working the ball onto his right foot. Nacho Monreal may as well been a spectator with his efforts to deal with that, he just stood and watched him.
Goal!
Southampton 1-1 Everton
On the stroke of halftime Gylfi Sigurdsson shows Everton what he can do. He picks up the ball outside the box and fires a shot at goal which cannons off the crossbar and bounces over the line.
18: Well Arsenal should be 1-0 up. Alexandre Lacazette escapes James Tarkowski on the left wing and crosses a low pass to Aaron Ramsey who was waiting in the middle and somehow hits a first time shot wide. Let off for Burnley.
20: Burnley hit back with more aerial assaults on Arsenal. Steven Defour swings in a ball from the left to Jeff Hendrick at the back post who tries to nod the ball back across goal but Petr Cech turns the ball behind for a corner.
25: Yellow card for Robbie Brady who slid in to halt Alex Iwobi who was breaking inside the Burnley half. Harsh one on Brady although not his first foul.
26: Burnley clear a corner only as far as Hector Bellerin who lays the ball to Nacho Monreal to fire at goal from range and his low drive flies wide although he had Nick Pope scrambling.
29: Alexandre Lacazette and Alexis Sachez combine well on the edge of the box and Sanchez tries to work his way to goal but James Tarkowski times his tackle well to dispossess him.
Gareth Southgate has been spotted in the stands at Turf Moor. You suspect he has a closer eye on some of the Burnley boys rather than the Gunners.
38: Burnley get a free kick about 30 yards out in a central area, Robbie Brady takes it and Petr Cech moves across his goal to palm behind the effort.
