<\/p>\nBurnley and England Under-21 goalkeeper James Trafford showed his inexperience by gifting Arsenal's William Saliba a simple goal.<\/p>\n
Trafford was signed by the Clarets in a hefty \u00a319million deal, after shining in the Young Lions' triumphant European Championship campaign last summer. Unfortunately, he was forced to learn a brutal lesson in Arsenal's second goal against the relegation strugglers.<\/p>\n
A venomously whipped corner was sent into his vicinity by Leandro Trossard. However, as he was getting ready to punch the ball, he allowed Saliba to ghost in front of him and nod into the back of the net from close range. Despite his inexperience, Premier League fans have not gone easy on him. <\/p>\n

"Nah this keeper man\u2026 you are in a relegation scrap. Keepers and No.9s keep you up," one fan said, appearing to say Burnley are missing some key figures in their team. "What\u2019s Kompany meant to do with these s*** guys," another supporter tweeted.<\/p>\n
"That is absolutely awful keeping," a third wrote before a fourth said: "Trafford is terrible. I am sorry, but if you are in a relegation battle you do not make a kid your number one."<\/p>\n

It is not the first time the young shot-stopper has come under fire for his performances. He was caught well-off his line when Phillip Billing chipped home a winning goal from 45-yards when Bournemouth overcame Burnley 2-1 at the end of October. <\/p>\n
However, Kompany defended the 21-year-old goalkeeper from the critics. \u201cThere\u2019s not much he can do about the second goal,\u201d he said after the loss to the Cherries. \u201cYou give the ball away like this, you take 90 per cent of the goalkeepers [in the division].<\/p>\n

\u201cBut other than that, he\u2019s definitely showing a lot of maturity for his age. He will be fine, he will have a good career. But he\u2019s like everyone else now, needing to perform. It\u2019s the message for the whole team: keep going.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to have to go through these moments, these guys know nothing else. It\u2019s their life, it\u2019s their job. Sometimes you\u2019re on top and you\u2019re the best, sometimes you\u2019re on the bottom, so it\u2019s about how you react. You have to get through it.\u201d<\/p>\n
