Ashley Barnes finished in 2nd place in the Power Rankings for Week 1 after his two goals which won Burnley the game. Barnes was on the scoresheet again this past weekend, against Arsenal.

After going 1-0 down to Alexandre Lacazette's early strike, Barnes pulled things back with his goal just before halftime, although Arsenal added another goal which resulted in the final scoreline reading 2-1 to the Gunners. Ashley Barnes' stats were very good for a striker.

He won 6 aerial duels against a centre back partnership which had David Luiz and Sokratis Papasthapoulous. Also, he won possession twice in the opposition half and won 3 out of his 7 ground duels.

Barnes scored 12 goals last season and 9 of them came after the year 2019 started. After netting twice against Southampton to open his account and scoring again, this time against Arsenal, Barnes has notched up 12 Premier League goals in 2019. He is tied with Jamie Vardy and just 2 goals shy of Mane at 14 and Aguero at 13 goals.
