Arsenal player ratings vs Burnley: Gunners give Arsene Wenger a fitting tribute
By Kian Long
Granit Xhaka – 7.5/10
It was yet another underrated performance from Granit Xhaka. His role and impact on the game often goes overlooked, but he was once again important today. He dictated the play well and acted as the anchor between defense and attack, often playing cute passes to move the team forward.
Jack Wilshere – 7.5/10
Jack Wilshere used his footwork well. There were a number of times where he was put under pressure but he came out of it well, with the ball stuck to his feet.
Alex Iwobi – 7/10
Alex Iwobi had a few frustrating moments but they were overshadowed by his elsewhere good work. His finish was excellent and he continued on from his good form against Manchester United last weekend.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan – 7/10
The Armenian had quite a different role today. He was a lot more defensive-minded than he usually is, which is good for Hector Bellerin. He won possession back on a number of occasions, but his passing was a little off today.
