What James Tarkowski did to Alexandre Lacazette during Arsenal's Premier League match vs Burnley

Arsenal are in Premier League action as they take on Burnley at Turf Moor.

The Gunners are looking to stop a run of three straight draws in the league by taking a valuable three points back to the Emirates Stadium with them.

Although they will have a fight on their hand if they wish to do so, with Burnley beating both Leicester and Manchester United in their last two outings in the league.

Before them two results the Clarets looked as if they were being dragged into a relegation fight, but have fought back in the last two games as they look to improve their standing in the table.

Mikel Arteta: We need to be ready for a battle

Alexandre Lacazette was chosen in the starting XI by Mikel Arteta for the game, with the Frenchman playing alongside returning club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The striker had a couple of chances in the early exchanges of the match, with a second minute header going wide.

Lacazette was the subject of a tackle by Burnley defender James Tarkowski during the first period as he looked to get away from the centre-half.

Following the challenge, the Burnley mad appeared to shove the Arsenal striker as he was on the ground, much to the annoyance of onwatching Arsenal fans.

Whether something more will come from the incident after the game is still to be seen.
