Arsenal bounced from last weekend's surprise defeat by Southampton with a hard-fought 3-1 win over Burnley this afternoon.

The hosts seized control of the game thanks to a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang brace but Sean Dyche's side refused to roll over, pulling one back through Ashley Barnes.

The final 30 minutes made for a nervy affair but Alex Iwobi's late goal quashed any lingering fears of a Burnley equaliser, thus securing victory for Unai Emery's men and all three points.

So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.
