BBC football pundit Garth Crooks has picked two Arsenal stars in his Team of the Week following their 5-0 Premier League rout of Burnley on the road.

The Gunners continued their fine start to the year with a fifth successive league win. They comfortably beat the Clarets at Turf Moor by five clear goals.

Martin Odegaard started the scoring with a fine low strike from the edge of the box in the fourth minute. He went on to provide an assist for Bukayo Saka.

The Norwegian has been in fantastic form over recent weeks and he was our man of the match.

We are not surprised that Crooks picked him in his Team of the Week. The pundit said that the Gunners captain generally ‘ran the show’ against the Clarets.

Meanwhile, Saka also made Crooks’ XI after bagging yet another brace away from home.

The England star converted his penalty in the opening half before unleashing a powerful right footed strike into the roof of Burnley’s net after the break.

For the second game running, Saka was denied his maiden league hat-trick with a substitution, but he could achieve the feat this term with his stellar form.
