Leandro Trossard scored Arsenal’s 1000th goal against Burnley.

Leandro Trossard scored the opener against Burnley right on the stroke of halftime as the Gunners had to grind their way to a lead.

While the goal wasn’t Trossard’s flashiest, but it was just as important. Coming off a 1-0 loss to Newcastle, getting a win to steady the ship was important, and it sent Arsenal on its way.

Trossard got on the end of a Saka header and put his body on the line to ensure he got the goal he was craving.

Trossard looked to be in quite a fair bit of pain afterward, but the forward shook it off to be the most influential player on the pitch for Mikel Arteta’s team.

But what did the manager think of Trossard’s goal, which happened to be Arsenal’s 1000th?

The goal against Burnley was Trossard’s sixth of the season, and the forward is making a case for a starting role with Gabriel Jesus out.

While the international break likely has come at the wrong time for the Belgian, when Arsenal returns to league action against Brentford, Arteta will have some thinking to do regarding who he starts up forward.
