Arsenal made it two wins from as many games as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hit the winner against Burnley .
Following an opening-weekend win over Newcastle , the Gunners went in front through Alexandre Lacazette's dogged finish.
But Ashley Barnes continued his hot streak in front of goal by levelling before the interval with his third strike in two games.
The visitors held firm after the break but Aubameyang finally breached their defence with a strike from distance.
Burnley attempted to haul themselves back into the game but ultimately left north London empty-handed.
Here, we rate the players on both sides...
ARSENAL
Leno 6
Alert and brave when required, but question marks over some of his distribution
Maitland-Niles 6
At his best when assertive and pro-active, not diffident and submissive
Sokratis 7
Stuck to the basics of defending and executed them well on the whole
Luiz 7
Brought a certain arrogance to the back four, which is not necessarily a bad thing
Monreal 8
Galloped forward at every opportunity, impressive skill set for a defender
Guendouzi 7
Let the fun and games of mistaken identity between him and Luiz begin
Willock 7
Dripping with potential: Surging runs and pulses of skill, now for consistency
Aubameyang 7
Booked. Too peripheral when confined to the flanks, bang on target down middle
Ceballos 8 *MOM
Instant hit with Gunners fans: Skill, mobility, passing range and quality
Nelson 5
Spasms of promise but too peripheral and hooked at interval
Lacazette 7
Quick off the mark with smart turn and finish under close escort at near post
SUB S
Pepe (Nelson, 46) 7, Kolasinac (Lacazette, 72) 6, Torreira (Ceballos, 83). Not used: Martinez, Mkhitaryan, Chambers, Martinelli.
BURNLEY
Pope 6
Never mind the opening goal, really smart saves to foil Aubameyang and Ceballos
Lowton 6
Dogged and resolute, an embodiment of Burnley's most enduring trademarks
Tarkowski 7
Fought hard to stem the second-half onslaught as Gunners ramped up pressure
Mee 7
Coped well for long periods, timed one risky tackle in his own box to perfection
Pieters 6
Should never have allowed Lacazette to get his shot away to open scoring
Cork 6
Covered immense amount of ground as usual, most of it without the ball
Westwood 6
Arrived late in the box to head just over when it was 1-1
Gudmundsson 6
Mixed bag of crosses from right flank but no shortage of them
McNeil 7
Clarets are too often damned with faint praise, but that's a cultured left foot
Barnes 7
Three goals in two games can't be bad, took his equaliser with shelling-peas efficinecy
Wood 5
Blunt instrument or belligerent, under-rated leader of the line? Take your pick
SUBS : Rodriguez (Wood, 61) 5, Lennon (Gudmundsson, 72) 5. Not used Hart, Taylor, Hendrick, Gibson, Lennon, Bardsley.
