We rate the players after Burnley were beaten 3-1 at Arsenal
Joe Hart `6
Beaten three times but could do little with either. Made a couple of regulation saves and passed the ball out well
Phil Bardsley 6
Was caught out by Ozil’s delicate pass for opener but remained committed. Subbed late on.
Ben Mee 6
Made a couple of key interceptions but one heavy touch in the first half could have proved costly.
James Tarkowski 6
Solid at the back and displayed strong positional sense. Got his fair share of blocks and tackles in.
Kevin Long 7
Another strong performance from the Irishman. Made an excellent tackle on Lacazette and performed well.
Charlie Taylor 6
Got forward well but couldn’t find his range with his crossing. Solid defensively.
Ashley Westwood 6
Hassled and harried and generally got the better of Elneny and Guendozi. Missed big early chance.
Jack Cork 6
Led the press for the Clarets but was caught on the ball for Arsenal second and skewed late chance over.
Jeff Hendrick 5
Struggled to impose himself on the game in a midfield three but worked hard.
Chris Wood 6
After a quiet first half he was more involved after the break but didn’t get a clear sight of goal
Ashley Barnes 7
Didn’t enamour himself to the Arsenal fans but took goal well and led the line to good effect.
