Bukayo Saka recorded his second two-goal haul in seven days as Arsenal stormed to a 5-0 win over Burnley on Saturday.

Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz also found the net at Turf Moor.

The result saw Arsenal stay just two points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, who had won 4-1 at Brentford earlier in the day.

Odegaard fired the Gunners in front after less than four minutes with a fierce low shot from just outside of the 18-yard box.

Saka - who hit a brace last weekend in a 6-0 win at West Ham - made it 2-0 with a penalty kick just before half-time.

The England star then struck again 88 seconds after the interval when he lashed the ball into the top corner of James Trafford's net with his right foot.

Trossard put the Gunners out of sight in the 66th minute before a superb solo goal by Havertz completed the rout.

Arsenal have now scored five or more goals in a game on five different occasions this season, having previously demolished Sheffield United, Lens and Crystal Palace before last week's big victory at West Ham.
