Martin Odegaard opened the scoring inside four minutes and the Gunners never looked back after that.
Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 before half-time with a penalty and he added a third shortly after the break.
Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz then got in on the act as Arsenal closed the gap on leaders Liverpool to just two points.
Simon Collings was at Turf Moor to see Arsenal in action...
David Raya 6
Didn’t really have much to do all game. Literally didn’t have a save to make all game. Distribution was good.
Ben White 7
A solid performance. Once again he tucked into midfield to help Arsenal create an overload there.
William Saliba 7
Had loads of the ball as Burnley sat so deep. Didn’t put a foot wrong all game. A calm display.
Gabriel 7
A cruise of a performance for the Brazilian, who was able to dominate Burnley’s attack.
Jakub Kiwior 8
One of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt. Looked really solid all game and helped create the fourth goal with a run forward. Assisted the fifth with a quick long throw.
Martin Odegaard 9 | Star player
A captain’s performance. Ran the game and opened the scoring with a great finish early on. Carved Burnley open at will and set up Saka’s second with a lovely pass.
Declan Rice 8
Just a monster in midfield. Any time Burnley had a sniff, he quickly shut it down. Bossed the game.
Kai Havertz 8
Caused Burnley problems with his runs in behind. Scored a lovely goal, which saw him nutmeg a defender before finishing calmly.
Bukayo Saka 9
Slotted his penalty to score for the fourth Premier League game in a row for the first time in his career. Grabbed a second with an emphatic finish.
Leandro Trossard 7
Guilty of missing some good chances, but got his goal midway through the second-half. Won the penalty for Arsenal’s second goal.
Gabriel Martinelli 7
Started like a train and set Odegaard up for the opener. Caused Burnley problems all game with his pace.
