Vincent Kompany’s men performed well in the main but they were once again forced to pay for some costly errors – mainly from corners.

The Clarets briefly got themselves back on level terms at the start of the second-half, but Mikel Arteta’s men soon restored their lead before making sure of the points.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

Made a string of fine stops to keep Arsenal at bay but needed to be more commanding of his box, especially for the second.

Caught out in behind on a couple of occasions but used his pace to good effect to recover and clear the danger.

Produced some important blocks and headers and there was no repeat of his costly mistake from last week.

Made some important interceptions in the final third but perhaps could have done better in the lead up to Arsenal’s second.
