Arsenal have taken another step to a third consecutive FA Cup triumph with victory over Championship Burnley at the Emirates.

Defender Calum Chambers was the unlikely goal scorer to put Arsene Wenger's side in the lead, before they were pegged back by Sam Vokes.

Alexis Sanchez got the winner in the second half on his first start since returning from injury.

The Chilean caught the eye of our man John Cross, but who was your man of the match in north London?

Here are the full player ratings...

Arsenal

Ospina 6 - Made some good saves, but lacks Cech’s presence.

Chambers 7 - Super goal, terrific curling effort. Nice game at right back.

Gabriel 7 - His pace gives him such an advantage, did well.

Koscielny 7 - Booked. Good strong combative display in defence.

Gibbs 7 - Looked sharp in front of England boss Roy Hodgson.

Coquelin 6 - His first start since November, clearly lacked sharpness.

Elneny 6 - Did OK, but will take time to adjust to English football.

Iwobi 7 - Big prospect, skilful and involved in both Arsenal goals.

Oxlade-Chamberlain 6 - His cut back set up Sanchez. Will boost his confidence.
