<p>The Gunners won 1-0 at Newcastle on the opening weekend courtesy of an Aubameyang strike and he proved the difference again as Burnley were beaten 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium.</p>
<p>Fit-again Alexandre Lacazette had given the hosts the lead, only for Ashley Barnes to snaffle away his third of the campaign to send the teams in level at the break.</p>
<p>Aubameyang then struck the decisive goal in the 64th minute on an afternoon where David Luiz made his Gunners debut and loan signing Dani Ceballos starred on his first start.</p>
<p>Arsenal started the brighter of the two teams and Lacazette forced a smart reaction save out of Nick Pope with a looping header.</p>
<p>The France international would not be denied from the resulting corner, collecting Ceballos’ delivery and turning home through Pope’s legs despite losing his balance.</p>
<p>Burnley – unchanged from a 3-0 win over Southampton last weekend – looked dangerous whenever they had the chance to get a set-piece into the box.</p>
<p>And on one such occasion Bernd Leno was called on to make a point-blank save from Barnes, only for the forward to be flagged offside, before Matteo Guendouzi hooked the ball off the line following a goalmouth scramble.</p>
<p>Arsenal twice came close to a second as the half progressed, first Reiss Nelson broke in down the left before firing straight at Pope, the England goalkeeper then doing well to keep out a drive from Guendouzi soon after.</p>

<p>But it was Burnley who were level just before the interval as Barnes did well to collect a wayward Dwight McNeil shot inside the box and steer past Leno.</p>
<p>Nelson had the ball in the net for Arsenal but his effort on the stroke of half-time was ruled out for offside against Nacho Monreal, with a video assistant referee check confirming the decision was correct.</p>
<p>Unai Emery responded to the setback by introducing club-record signing Nicolas Pepe for the second half as Nelson made way for the Ivorian winger.</p>

<p>Aubameyang sent a curling effort inches wide and was then denied by Pope on the hour-mark after a fine pass from Pepe found the Gabon striker inside the box.</p>
<p>Ceballos was the next to be frustrated as Pope pushed his strike away – but Aubameyang made sure he tucked away his next chance, firing home from the edge of the box to put the hosts back in front.</p>
<p>Sead Kolasinac replaced Lacazette, recently back from an ankle injury, and was given a rousing reception following recent off-field events.</p>

<p>The full-back, along with team-mate Mesut Ozil, was targeted by carjackers last month and the pair were unavailable at Newcastle last weekend as police investigated further incidents.</p>
<p>Ozil was ill in the week so missed out on being involved here, while Kolasinac came on in a more attacking role, playing on the left wing for the final 19 minutes.</p>
<p>Fellow substitute Lucas Torreira came close to a third Arsenal goal late on, with Burnley failing to test Leno in the closing stages as they slipped to a 10th successive league defeat to the Gunners.</p>
