Burnley vs Arsenal player ratings: Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey impress but Alex Iwobi struggles
We run the rule over the two teams
An injury-time penalty from Alexis Sanchez gave Arsenal a 1-0 win at Turf Moor in the Premier League on Sunday to send the Londoners up to fourth place.
It was a close affair throughout with Burnley showing exactly why they entered the game level on points with Arsene Wenger's side but it ended in controversy.
Arsenal won both games against the Lancashire side last season with disputed late goals and were reminded of that recent history throughout the game by the home support.
Television replays showed that James Tarkowski pushed Aaron Ramsey in the back although the Welsh international's dramatic fall angered the home support who booed off referee Lee Mason at the end.
“I can understand they are disappointed but from the outside it looks like a penalty,” said Wenger, who said Ramsey had told him it was a “very strong push”.
