Arsenal player ratings from Burnley clash as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leads the way

Arsenal cemented fifth spot as they won 3-1 at Burnley on the final day.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the hero for the Gunners as he scored twice, ensuring he draws level for the Golden Boot.

The Gunner striker capitalised on a defensive mix-up before racing clear to score, before firing home from Alex Iwobi's cross.

Ashley Barnes got one back for Burnley but Arsenal wrapped it up in added time as substitute Eddie Nketiah got in on the act.

Arsenal's focus now switches to the Europa League final against Chelsea later this month.

Here are full player ratings from Turf Moor.
