Martinelli MotM v Foxes Player Ratings

By Matty

An impressive victory. Oozing with confidence, the Gunners played some great stuff at times, moving the ball about with pace and purpose, and for periods Leicester struggled to get near them. Leicester were poor and never really looked like troubling us. Ramsdale, White, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli... we have some real quality in this side. When you look at the level which Partey and Odegaard are currently playing at, you can't help but feel with a proper #8 we'll be cooking on gas. Wednesday will be a great game.

Ramsdale - 7. Much more like the Ramsdale from the start of the season. Great save in the first half and distribution was better.

Cedric - 7. Wasn't able to be the same attacking option he has been recently but did well.
White - 8. Class again. Made a superb saving tackle in the first half. Solid throughout.
Gabriel - 7. Also solid. Looked more comfortable in possession.
Tierney - 7. An improvement on Sunday.

Partey - 8. Continued his fine form. Scored, hit the woodwork and ran the show in midfield. This is the player we paid £50 million for.
Xhaka - 7. Did well again in a role which I don't necessarily think is best suited to him.

Saka - 7. Not quite on Sunday's level, but he still showed his great quality on the ball. Couple of times Leicester couldn't get near him.
Odegaard - 8. So, so good. The passing, the vision, the flicks. Pure class. Created 5 chances in the first half alone.
Martinelli - 8. My MOTM. Thought this was the best he's played in a while. The end product wasn't there but he celebrated his Brazil call-up by showing bags of pace, skill and purpose.

Lacazette - 7. Great penalty to end his goal drought.

Subs:

Smith Rowe - 6. Came close to scoring.
Pepe - N/A. Not on long.
Nketiah - N/A. Not on long.
