7.2. Did well controlling the ball, as he’s been counted on for. For such a hectic match, he kept his head and didn’t make any rash decisions. He did get lost on Burnley’s near goal and it nearly cost us, but it didn’t, so I won’t hold it against him too much.. CB. Arsenal. DAVID LUIZ

7.4. Strong and resolute early on. Quick and clean in clearing his lines. Our only hope at competing with Burnley in the air. This is exactly the kind of match that often exploits Mustafi’s weaknesses, and maybe at times we felt like we were just counting down to his mistake, but it never came, and credit is deserved.. CB. Arsenal. SHKODRAN MUSTAFI
