Zian Flemming headed in James Ward-Prowse’s delivery in second-half stoppage time to deny us a fifth league win in six, with Rosenior left frustrated after introducing several defenders late on to counter the Clarets’ threat from dead balls.

We have now let in 11 goals in the league this season from set-pieces, and the head coach knows it is an area his side must improve on, and quickly.

‘Set plays are massive in the Premier League, they're so important,’ he said.

‘Our record this season, defending set plays, is not to the level which is required for us to achieve what we want to achieve and that's something I need to address.

‘I felt the only way Burnley were going to score in that moment was from a Ward-Prowse set play. I've tried to go as big as possible.

‘Reece [James] was stretching and I wanted to make sure I protected him. Pedro Neto was stretching, I needed to protect him. We had enough on the pitch to deal with that moment and we didn't. And this cost us two more points.’

Rosenior also confirmed James was not injured when he took him off late in the game.

‘Reece is so important to us as the captain, as the world-class player that he is, that any sign of fatigue with him, I want to get him off the pitch.

‘I need him for Arsenal. He should be absolutely fine.’
