September 18th features a match where Burnley hosts Arsenal at Turf Moor in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which is great football weather. Burnley is fresh off their 1-3 loss against Everton. Ben Mee struck first for Burnley in the 53rd minute, but Michael Keane got the equalizer for Everton in the 60th minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 65th minute on a goal by Andros Townsend. Burnley looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 3 of their last 10, while arsenal is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Norwich City. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 66th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Norwich City couldn’t manage to score, and Arsenal took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
