Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester City’s owners get away with so much? Two midweek matches in England had a backdrop of war and geopolitics, but only one drew large protests

Beyond Man City, other clubs which profit directly from emirati patronage should ask themselves some inconvenient questions; and if they do not of their own accord, we fans should be pressuring them into doing so. These other clubs very much include Arsenal FC.

Declan Rice in Arsenal's blue kit, with his hands on his hips as he puffs out his cheeks

Declan Rice has still not received a single foul in the Premier League this season.

Eight have been given against him.

We also looked exhausted at the end, Rice was running on empty. We need the numbers back and hopefully we will have soon.

Three tough away matches in a week and we didn't quite have enough to make it perfect.

You can't say anything about referees without being accused of saltiness, or sour grapes, but Craig Pawson was an embarrassment today.

Completely gave into the crowd (and Sunderland falling over) at every opportunity, with some bizarre decision making along the way. Shocking.

7 minutes l m a o

Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven points after the 3pm matches.

Manchester United miss the chance to go second, whilst Brighton's dominant win means Liverpool drop down to ninth.

Arsenal make it five Premier League wins in a row.

A fourth league clean sheet in a row - and a 12th of the season in all competitions - mean they extend their lead at the top to seven points.

That's a soft yellow card. Gabriel caught him, but the dramatic launch into the air bought the caution.

Kavanagh being Kavanagh

What the heck is that foul call? Nwaneri gets to the ball first and Esteve comes into him!

Some shocking refereeing decisions

That's not a foul. That's a dive. The referee needs to recognize that.

That's so incredibly soft.

That is such a soft free free kick.

Calafiori being booed for being elbowed in the face

It's a depressed bee.

Omg the Burnley column 😱

That was a perplexing offside call against Bukayo Saka.

And by perplexing I mean obviously and terribly incorrect.

Zubimendi got the ball there. 100%.

We've been ASSURED that getting the ball means it isn't a foul.

When every single team decide to play with 11 men in defense, naturally we are going to get a lot of corners. If teams would start to actually play against us, we would get more open play goals and less corners

Once again, Trossard gets cleaned out. No foul.

Then a collison with Trossard and Walker. Walker goes down. Foul given.

Burnley headed the ball out from that corner and they awarded a goal kick.

Well done, good process.

If clubs don't want to concede set pieces to Arsenal, perhaps they shouldn't set up their defensive lines so deep and risk the ball going out for corners.

GYOKERES!!!!!!!!!

1-0

Burnley have all 10 outfield players within 35 yards of their own box when Arsenal have the ball in the attacking third.

You want more open play goals and attacking football? Stop clubs from doing that.

There was no more contact in Calafiori on Walker as there was in Walker on Trossard.

Walker got the call. Trossard didn't. Neither were fouls.

Eagerly anticipating everybody in the media and online being as upset about how long Burnley are taking to get the ball back into play against Arsenal as they've been about how long (not that long) Arsenal take.

I thinks it’s ironic all the pomp around Rememberance Day when fascism is on the rise – people don’t link the two

Who will he have no choice but to give a red card today?
