Burnley were brilliant defensively yet again on their home turf. The Clarets have now conceded just 6 goals in their last 18 home league games; games in which they have played against Arsenal and Liverpool.
Despite conceding tonight, Sean Dyche will be happy with the fight and determination his side displayed throughout the game and the fact that they kept out one of Europe’s best attacking teams until the 93rd minute.
Cruelly for Burnley, it was a handball that earned Arsenal the three points.
The centre-back partnership of Ben Mee and Michael Keane were especially impressive, their solidity often leaving Arsenal out of ideas. It is this understanding that they must carry into their away games as well in order to push for a top half finish.
