Arsenal Player Ratings Vs Burnley: Ceballos Steals The Show

Arsenal picked up their second win in as many Premier League games after a 2-1 win against Burnley earlier today.

Alexandre Lacazette scored an early goal, the lead was canceled out by Ashley Barnes’ cool finish just before the interval.

However, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the back of the net in the second half, and it proved to be the difference in the end.

Here are our Arsenal player ratings from what transpired earlier today.

Bernd Leno 6/10

The German shot-stopper made an excellent save early to deny Ashley Barnes from scoring. However, he struggled to deal with the crosses.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles 5/10

Far from convincing while going forward, Maitland-Niles was wasteful in possession and was shaky at the back as well.

David Luiz 7/10

Luiz had a decent start in an Arsenal start and was confident at the back. His long passes were especially impressive as they helped Gunners make the attacking transitions sooner.

Sokratis 6/10

Sokratis didn’t look the most confortable as Burnley tested the centre0back with their physical approach and with two centre-forwards.

Nacho Monreal 7/10

The Spaniard was lively on the left, and was hardly troubled at the back. The only thing which he lacked was end product.

Joe Willock 7/10

It was yet another commendable outing for the youngster who featured from the deeper areas in the midfield. He distributed the ball well and was good in his movement.

Matteo Guendouzi 6.5/10

The Frenchman made little use of his possession over the ball and was ineffective for a major chunk of the game. However, it was through him that Arsenal were able to build up from the back.

Dani Ceballos 9/10

Ceballos was arguably the best player on the pitch. He picked up a couple of assists, and his distribution and creativity were top notch. Could be a key player for the Gunners this season.

Reiss Nelson 6/10

Used on the left-wing by Emery, Nelson couldn’t really impose his dominance in the game. He had a few chances, but failed to muster anything fruitful.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 7/10

The Gabon international was futile in his endeavours in the first half, but once he started to operate from the left-wing after the break, he tested the Burnley defence with his driving runs. His well-taken strike proved to be the winning goal for Arsenal.

Alexandre Lacazette 6/10

Lacazette was largely anonymous after scoring a goal early in the first half. However, he worked hard in the final third.
