Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes Granit Xhaka’s red card in the defeat to Burnley showed how committed his players are to addressing their Premier League slump.
The 10-man Gunners fell to a 1-0 loss, their fourth home league defeat in a row, as a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang own goal settled the game in favour of Burnley – who enjoyed a first-ever win at the Emirates Stadium as a result.
A turgid first half ended with just one shot on target for either side but Arsenal were better immediately following the interval.
The win takes Burnley to within four points of Arsenal – but Dyche insists they are not involved in a battle to survive.
“No,” he replied when asked if Arsenal should worry about relegation.
“They have got some excellent players and a manager I’m sure is working hard with his staff. They have got very, very good players and have invested heavily.
“It is refreshing in a way that it is not just us, even the big clubs have time when they find it tough, they will be working hard to get out of it.”
