Dani Ceballos made an instant impact on his full debut at the Emirates Stadium, as he set up both of Arsenal's goals, while also making crucial tackles and winning back possessions with equal ease.

Burnley just couldn’t handle Ceballos at the Emirates. The Spaniard had 97 touches and over a 90% pass accuracy – completing 4/4 dribbles and created 4 chances, including his two assists. He won 2 tackles, recovered the ball 7 times.

But singling out Ceballos as the architect of their victory in which they also maintained 66 % possession will be an insult to the relatively quiet but efficient Matteo Guendouzi and Joe Willock.

With their energy and presence, they perfectly complemented Ceballos as he put on a show that has earned him comparisons with Arsenal great Santi Cazorla.
