But a corner in the second minute of stoppage time was enough to seal the win for Arsenal, with Laurent Koscielny's handball sending the travelling Gooners wild.

The Frenchman had a fine game at the back alongside defensive partner Shkodran Mustafi.

Alexis Sanchez looked sharp despite being unable to find the back of the net, while Burnley keeper Tom Heaton had a fine game between the sticks.

But just who was SunSport's Star Man of the Match?
