Dani Ceballos – (On for Partey 81’) N/A. Hit post with side-foot finish in injury-time. Reuters
BURNLEY RATINGS: Nick Pope - 6: Will not be happy with Aubameyang’s early goal which squirmed in at his near post despite keeper getting hand to shot. Errors creeping into his game that must put his claims to be England's No 1 in doubt. Getty
Matthew Lowton - 5: Flat-footed and too easily beaten by Aubameyang for opener. Nearly handed Gabonese attacker another later in half after initially intercepting a Partey pass only to then almost give it straight to the Gunners captain. Struggled up against Willian and Tierney, particularly in first half. AFP
Ben Mee - 8: Well-timed tackle to deny Aubameyang a second goal in first 15 minutes. Another vital last-ditch block shot from Gunners captain in injury-time. Impressive at the back for the Clarets. AFP
James Tarkowski - 8: One of Burnley’s better performers in poor opening half for team with some calm defending and good challenges. Maintained that level after break and Burnley have central-defensive pairing of Tarkowski and Mee to thank for keeping Arsenal at bay. AFP
Charlie Taylor - 6: Unfortunate ricochet gifted Saka glorious chance to make it 2-0 in first half but left-back was relieved to see the Gunners attacker fire wide. Came off with hamstring problem in second half. EPA
Johan Gudmundsson - 5: In for the injured Jack Cork but did nothing to suggest he should start the next match. Iceland international made little impression on his return from injury. PA
Ashley Westwood - 6: Had Burnley’s first attempt on target after 27 minutes, a first-time shot form edge of area that flew way over bar but offered little else going forward. AFP
Josh Brownhill - 5: Guilty of giving the ball away far too cheaply in opening half and while a little better after break, midfielder was generally poor. Reuters
Dwight McNeil - 6: Was getting little change out of Chambers until winger had low shot easily saved by Leno just before break. Quiet game from a player Burnley rely on for threat from out wide. PA
Matej Vydra - 6: Czech attacker scored against Leicester last time out and offered no attacking threat in first half. Much more involved after break and had lovely exchange of passes with Wood to supply strike partner with great chance to make it 2-1. Reuters
Chris Wood - 6: Weak shot in first half that trundled straight to Leno. Levelled for Burnley but knew little about it after Xhaka pass diverted off of his side and into the net. Should have had another in second half after great ball from Vydra but shot straight at Leno. Reuters
SUBS: Erik Pieters – (On for Taylor 64’) 7: Incident-packed cameo. Quickly booked for challenge on Lacazette and should have conceded a penalty for handball that referee and VAR somehow didn’t give. Had one thumping looping strike from way outside the box that forced Leno to tip over. Was then given red card for deliberate handball only for decision to be rightly rescinded by VAR after it became clear ball came off shoulder. PA
Robbie Brady – (On for Gudmundsson 67’) 6: No opportunity to make an impact. Reuters
Jay Rodriguez - (On for Vydra 86') N/A. Reuters
ARSENAL RATINGS: Bernd Leno - 7: Partly culpable in Burnley’s leveller when he played it short to Xhaka instead of going long, although Swiss midfielder was undoubtedly main culprit. Barely had a save to make in first half. Looked confident coming out to claim Burnley balls into box and produced two excellent saves in second half; one to tip over looping Pieters strike and another important block to stop Woods strike minutes later. Getty
Calum Chambers - 7: First league start for Gunners since December 2019, right-back had to keep close tabs on Burnley dangerman McNeil and did exactly that. A fine return for Chambers that will delight player and manager Arteta alike. PA
David Luiz - 7: Strolled through first half with Burnley’s attacking threat non-existent and while put under a little bit more pressure after break, was generally sound. EPA
Kieran Tierney - 7: Hugged the left touchline giving Arsenal plenty of width but not quite as influential as he has been for much of this season. Low cross into box found its way to Pepe only for substitute to miss sitter. Getty
Pablo Mari - 7: Spaniard and his Brazilian central-defensive partner Luiz were in total control at back for a majority of this match and will be wondering how their team has not won. AFP
Granit Xhaka - 4: Sent-off in December’s corresponding fixture at the Emirates Stadium, produced beautiful long ball through to Aubameyang after quarter-of-an-hour. But his Burnley woes continued when he hit lazy pass straight off Wood that flew into the Arsenal net six minutes before break. AFP
Thomas Partey - 6: Lovely dinked ball over defence almost set up Aubameyang chance in first 20 minutes. Should have done better when teed-up for shot on edge of area after half-an-hour but couldn’t keep side-footed shot down. Distribution a mixed bag. Getty
Bukayo Saka - 6: Playing 50th league game for Arsenal, the 19-year-old was furious with himself when after toe-poking wide midway through first half and wasted another chance with awful first touch after perfect Aubameyang through-ball. Booked for late challenge on Taylor. AFP
Martin Odegaard - 6: Loan signing from Real Madrid was tidy enough in first half as Arsenal dominated, if a bit slow with his passing and decision-making. Had low, curling effort saved by Pope at start of second half. Hooked just after hour mark. Getty
Willian - 7: Driving force in move that led to opening goal and, like against Leicester in previous league game, much more involved for Arsenal, although faded in second half. AFP
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - 7: A headed own-goal handed Burnley three points last time round, but found the net in the right end within six minutes with low shot inside Pope’s near post. That’s 14 for the season now. AP
SUBS: Alexandre Lacazette – (On for Odegaard 63’) 5: Supplied an incredibly loud scream and over-reaction to Pieters challenge that got Burnley substitute booked. Not much else apart from that. AFP
Nicolas Pepe – (On for Willian 69’) 4: Completely miss-hit glorious chance to make it 2-1 in last 10 minutes. Then compounded that awful miss with another when his volley was diverted onto bar by Pieters when goal was gaping. Should have earned his team a penalty, though, when he controlled the ball in the box and the ball clearly hit Pieters on the arm. Reuters
