Burnley were abject, and Arsenal scored five lovely goals (it could have been eight) to send Arsene Wenger off in style. Every Gunner had a good game. In addition to his other virtues, it seems Xhaka is made of the same iron as Giroud (who was once again the hero for Chelsea, scoring the only goal in the Liverpool game). Opponents bounce off him and are the worse for it, whether or not they initiate the contact. Auba and Lacazette both scored and looked commanding. Our fullbacks got into the act with a goal (Kolasinac) and two assists (Bellerin). I was happy to see Iwobi finish a great chance perfectly.
Arsene's sendoff was sublime. Seeing him standing in the center circle alone with the full stadium roaring was emotional.
