In case you didn’t know…

The 23-year-old joined Arsenal on loan in the summer transfer window and started his first league game for the Gunners earlier today against Burnley. The North London club beat the Clarets 2-1, with the Spaniard playing a huge role in both goals scored by his side.

It appears as though Ceballos has already adapted to the demands of the Premier League as he completed 100% of his take-ons and enjoyed a passing accuracy of 90% over the course of the game.

The heart of the matter

Speaking to BT Sport, van Persie expressed his admiration for Ceballos’ performance, saying:

Van Persie was joined by Martin Keown and Joe Cole who both lauded the midfielder for his stellar display. The duo opined that Ceballos is a “great addition to the group” and praised him for his “all-round good display”.

Ceballos’ display helped Arsenal win their second league game on the trot, marking the first time in 10 years that the Gunners have won their first two Premier League matches.

What’s next?

Arsenal will next face Liverpool at Anfield. Last season, they were humiliated 5-1 by the Reds but the Gunners will be hoping that history does not repeat itself next weekend.

Meanwhile, Burnley will face Wolves next Sunday.
