Mikel Arteta: 'Fabio Vieira red card was a really good decision'

Mikel Arteta has no complaints about Fabio Vieira's late red card in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta claimed that Michael Oliver made a "really good" decision to send off Fabio Vieira in Saturday's 3-1 Premier League win over Burnley.

The Gunners returned to winning ways in the top flight following last weekend's controversy-filled defeat to Newcastle United, whose winning goal was labelled a "disgrace" by Arteta.

In that loss at St James' Park, both sides escaped potential red cards, but Arsenal would finish Saturday's game with 10 men as Vieira was given his marching orders for a shocking studs-up challenge on Josh Brownhill.

The Portuguese's dismissal means that he is now set to serve a three-game domestic ban, ruling him out of clashes with Brentford, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Luton Town following the international break.

Vieira's red card was understandably one of the headline topics in Arteta's post-game press conference, but following last week's explosive rant, the Spaniard had no complaints about Oliver's decision at the Emirates.

"I'm really happy with the result, especially with the performance after playing 72 hours ago, with the last three games, how we played against Newcastle, how we played against Sevilla, how we played today, how dominant we were against teams who are very hard to dominant the amount of situations that we dominated, I think we fully deserved to win the game," Arteta said.

"With the red card, yes, thank you for asking me, VAR was right, the referee was right, really good decision, really positive from Mikel to speak about that, good decision."

A few days on from opening the scoring against Sevilla in the Champions League, Leandro Trossard held his spot in attack over the fit-again Eddie Nketiah, and he justified Arteta's selection with a dazzling individual display against the Clarets.

Trossard broke the deadlock with a brave header at the back post - injuring his forearm in the process as he clattered into the frame of the goal - which saw the Belgian come up with the Gunners' 1,000th goal at the Emirates Stadium.

Brownhill briefly silenced the home crowd with a deflected leveller, but Trossard provided a pinpoint corner for William Saliba to head home just three minutes later, and a stunning scissor kick from Oleksandr Zinchenko completed the job.

Arteta could not praise Trossard highly enough after the game, adding: "You have to put your body over the line if it's necessary and he's done it, and it's the 1000th goal at Emirates Stadium, a beautiful number, so I'm very happy with him.

"I think every time you ask him to play, whether it's wide or as a nine, it flows and he's a real threat, so I'm really happy with him. I think that he connects everybody, you know. He's so intelligent.

"He moves in the spaces in ways that attract people and generates spaces and options for people and today he has done it really well because it was very difficult as the spaces were so small to attack and he gave us a lot of threat and possibilities to connect and find spaces for us."

With Tottenham Hotspur going down 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the lunchtime kickoff, Arsenal have risen above their North London rivals into second place, only behind Manchester City on goal difference before the champions meet Chelsea on Sunday.

However, Liverpool could bump Arsenal down to third spot if they overcome Brentford by a margin of at least three goals tomorrow.
