adminBURNLEY. — Arsene Wenger admitted Arsenal were lucky to come away with a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley after a disputed injury-time winner took them within two points of the English Premier League soccer summit.Burnley were left frustrated after defender Laurent Koscielny scored from a corner deep into stoppage time, as the ball rebounded off his hand and over the line.
Despite the controversial finish, a fifth consecutive league win moves Arsenal up to third, two points behind leaders Manchester City who surrendered their 100 percent start in a 2-0 defeat to second-placed Tottenham Hotspur.
“I was fuming because we played the short corner at the end of the two added minutes,” said Wenger.
“I was asking why didn’t we take the direct corner? I didn’t see it go in, but I’ve been told that we were fortunate to get the goal.”Burnley manager Sean Dyche cut a frustrated figure after the defeat, which left his newly promoted side 14th in the table. — AFP.
