Laurent Koscielny says he does not know if his goal against Burnley on Sunday was a handball, but believes that the referee's decision to award it must be respected.

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has claimed that he does not know if his goal against Burnley was handball, but insists that the referee's decision must be respected.

The Frenchman appeared to strike the ball with his elbow following Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's effort on goal in Sunday's Premier League match at Turf Moor, forcing it over the line.

Despite the Clarets players' protests, the goal stood, giving the Gunners a 1-0 win which saw them climb to third in the table.

Koscielny said after the game: "I don't know if it was handball. I tried hitting the ball with my right foot and I don't know if I touched it with my hand.

"The referee gave the goal and you need to respect the decision.

"It was a hard game. We had the chance to score but we have to push ourselves on the pitch and it arrived at the end. It keeps our run going."

Up next for Arsenal is a Premier League home clash against Swansea City on Saturday, October 15.
