Odegaard Gets 8, Ramsdale With 7.5 | Arsenal Players Rated In Hard-Fought Win Vs Burnley | OneFootball

Arsenal locked horns with Burnley at Turf Moor earlier this afternoon as they looked to secure their second win in the Premier League this season. The Gunners made a bright start to the game and took the lead in the 30th minute courtesy of Martin Odegaard’s excellent free-kick. Mikel Arteta’s men protected their lead well and went into the half-time interval 1-0 up on the scoreline.

Both sides canceled each other out in the second 45 minutes as the North London outfit earned a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Lancashire.

Let’s take a look at how each Arsenal player fared during the clash against the Clarets.

GK: Aaron Ramsdale – 7.5/10

The Gunners keeper made a few key saves to restrict the Clarets from scoring during the game.

RB: Takehiro Tomiyasu – 7/10

He was strong in the air and put in a solid defensive display inside his half. However, he failed to influence the game in the final third.

CB: Ben White – 7.5/10

White won his fair share of aerial duels and made plenty of important clearances at the back. He will be quite happy with the clean sheet today.

CB: Gabriel – 7/10

The Brazilian centre-back was a rock at the back as he cleared the danger when called into action. He even blocked a couple of shots.
