Walcott on form for Gunners
Theo Walcott silenced his critics with a fine strike as Arsenal
closed in on the top of the Premier League after a 3-1 win over
relegation-threatened Burnley.
But there will be some concerns following the victory for the home
supporters after captain Cesc Fabregas withdrew with what appeared
to be a hamstring problem.
The midfielder had volleyed the Gunners - now level with leaders
Chelsea, although having played a match more - in front, before
being taken off as a precaution.
Burnley - who had picked up just one point away all season - equalised
at the start of the second half through David Nugent, before a fine
finish from England forward Walcott and Andrei Arshavin's stoppage-time
strike sealed victory.
