Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta heaps praise on Shkodran Mustafi after the defender helped the Gunners to a goalless draw at Burnley on Sunday.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that he was left impressed with the performance of Shkodran Mustafi against Burnley.

In recent weeks, Mustafi has made a mistake which directly resulted in a goal being conceded against Chelsea, as well as sustaining an ankle injury which was supposed to keep him sidelined for a number of weeks.

However, the German contributed to Arsenal keeping a clean sheet at Turf Moor on Sunday afternoon, leading to his manager praising the "courage" of the centre-back.

Arteta is quoted by The Mirror as saying: "I said to him that he could make a mistake but I like his reaction afterwards and the courage he had to play and make decisions.

"He's been training really well and I think you could see today how good he was."

The 27-year-old has made just 11 starts and two substitute appearances in all competitions this season.
