Arsenal 5-0 Burnley: Three things Arsenal did right in Arsene Wenger's last home game

Arsene Wenger's last game at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal manager ended on a positive note, with his team securing a strong 5-0 victory over Burnley on Sunday (May 6). It was a goal fest for the home side, who put in a dynamic attacking performance.

Goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Sead Kolasinac, Alex Iwobi, and a brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw the hosts run riot against Sean Dyche's side.

Here are three things Arsenal did right on the day:

#3 Playing both the strikers

It is clear that Aubameyang and Lacazette are at their best when they play with each other.

They create chances, they get opportunities to score, and they look threatening going forward. Yesterday, the Frenchman donned the role of the striker, whereas Aubameyang was shifted to the wings.

However, both the players kept exchanging their positions once the game began, and that was on display in Arsenal's first goal of the night, where a cross from the right flank from Lacazette resulted in a strike by the Gabon international, who was in the penalty box at the time.

Lacazette was taken off in the 71st minute with one goal and one assist to his name, while Aubameyang played the entire game, adding two goals and one assist.

#2 Starting with Chambers and Mavropanos

The center-backs put in a good shift

The two centre-backs, who impressed at Old Trafford last weekend, got a chance to start for the Gunners once again at the Emirates on Sunday. Both Calum Chambers and Konstantinos Mavropanos were solid at the back and remained resilient throughout the game.

Chambers put in a terrific shift yet again. He won five duels, two tackles, and two aerial duals on the day.

Mavropanos, on the other hand, is already becoming a fan favorite with the North London side. He looks raw but has the potential to become the mainstay of the Arsenal defence.

#1 Not taking their foot off the pedal after half-time

Arsenal's third goal was important in the context of the game

Arsenal were 2-0 up after 45 minutes and, thus, in a comfortable position to clinch victory against the seventh-placed Burnley. However, Dyche's team started the second half in a positive manner and put the hosts' defence under severe pressure with their dangerous crosses.

It would have been a familiar story for Arsenal and Wenger had they conceded a goal then and put themselves under pressure for the rest of the match. However, they did not restrain their attacking efforts and instead, continued to threaten the Burnley defence.

Their persistence was rewarded with a third goal, as Sead Kolasinac scored with a thumping finish off an assist from Jack Wilshere in the 54th minute of the game. That was the goal that effectively killed Burnley's chances of securing a point (or three) from the encounter.
