Shkodran Mustafi is impressed by Arsenal's will to win, no matter the situation.

The German defender joined the Gunners from Valencia in the summer but is still taken aback by the amount of fight Arsene Wenger's side shows to win matches.

On Sunday, the Gunners produced a last-gasp effort to get past Burnley 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium, courtesy of a very late Alexis Sanchez penalty.

Mustafi, who had earlier scored his first goal for the club with a first-half header, said: "We played in their half for most of the game and then you are a man down - it becomes difficult.

"I think we did well, even when it went to 1-1.

"In the last few games we have played, it seems like we never give up and always come back and that is a big credit to the team."

The result has Arsene Wenger's side sitting second on the Premier League table, eight points behind London rivals Chelsea.
