Arsenal Wenger has signed off from Emirates Stadium with an excellent performance from his team, beating Burnley 5-0.

Arsenal had a 64% possession in total, 14 minutes into the game, Aubameyang got Arsene Wenger on his feet after scoring. Aubameyang provider, Alexandre Lacazette offered his own strike just before half-time making it a 2-0 win for Arsenal in the first half of the game. 54 minutes into the second half, Sead Kolasinac made it a 3-0 win.
