Arsenal humbles Burnley in dramatic fashion, as new boy Ceballos shines

Two of the most familiar faces settled the scores for Arsenal. But after the strike duo of the french man Alexandre Lacazette and the Gabonese international Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang secured a second win of the season, it was not except the performance of newly signed Dani Ceballos that had the home supporters licking their lips and thanking their stars for this precious gift.

The Real Madrid loanee Dani Ceballos received a standing ovation at hte time of substitution when when he was replaced by Lucas Torreira, the Argentine with seven minutes remaining after a brilliant first game display that hinted Arsenal could have got one of the bargains of the summer. Alongside with the experienced defender David Luiz - an £8m signing from Chelsea – Dani Ceballos was making his full debut against Burnley who have now lost 11 matches in a row against Arsenal over the decades. Arsenal is simply indomitable in the eyes of the Burnley players.

It was indeed a thrilling match.
