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:
1. James Trafford - 6/10
Made a string of fine stops to keep Arsenal at bay but needed to be more commanding of his box, especially for the second. Photo: GLYN KIRK
2. Vitinho - 6/10
Caught out in behind on a couple of occasions but used his pace to good effect to recover and clear the danger. Photo: GLYN KIRK
3. Jordan Beyer - 6/10
Produced some important blocks and headers and there was no repeat of his costly mistake from last week. Photo: Marc Atkins
4. Dara O'Shea - 6/10
Made some important interceptions in the final third but perhaps could have done better in the lead up to Arsenal’s second. Photo: Luke Walker
