Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s second goal in as many games moved the Gunners to a maximum six points following last weekend’s victory at Newcastle United. Ashley Barnes had cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette’s well-taken opener, but an excellent Dani Ceballos helped Arsenal pin down Burnley after the interval.

In case you didn’t know… Mustafi, who joined the Gunners from Valencia for £35 million in August 2016, looked poised to leave the club over the summer.

Those Americans at al-Asad were needlessly in danger because of our leaders’ refusal to reckon with the fact the Iraq War was lost long ago and it is past time for the United States to withdraw from the country.

Thankfully, no one was killed, but some will likely suffer side effects from their serious injuries for many years....

It can’t be too surprising that there are many football fans who, influential they may be, have no inkling of understanding about the beautiful game.
