# Arsenal: Fans slam Willian display

**Some Arsenal fans were left to slam the display of Willian away at Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime.**

The former Chelsea man did not impress some members of the Emirates Stadium faithful after he was given his chance from the start by Mikel Arteta.

The Brazil international lost out on 100% of his duels and also failed to record a single shot on goal, successful dribble or accurate cross, as he lost possession of the ball 10 times in the game in total ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/burnley-arsenal/gsR)).

Even though he picked up the assist for the opening goal for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Willian was not able to have too much more of an influence in the match, as he was substituted off in the 70th minute for Nicolas Pepe.
