Leicester City 3 - 1 Arsenal: Player Ratings

Arsenal

The Arsenal boss left Leicester empty-handed for the first time in his tenure as Arsenal boss

Petr Cech – (6/10)

The Arsenal goalkeeper pulled off a number of stops in the first half, but could not keep out Iheanacho's opening goal for the Foxes, and did nothing wrong for neither the penalty or Mahrez’s goal.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles – (7/10)

Maitland-Niles was probably Arsenal’s best defender on the night. He did well filling in at full-back, especially with the onslaught from Leicester after the Mavropanos sending off. And even more, he did well to cross for Aubameyang as he scored Arsenal’s equaliser.

Rob Holding – (5/10)

Like the rest of the season when the Englishman has been given a chance in the Arsenal line-up, Holding looked very unconvincing and a shadow of the man who played so brilliantly in the FA Cup final just under a year ago.

Konstantinos Mavropanos – (3/10)

The young defender has been a fan favourite in his first two games for the Gunners, but the defender saw red after just 15 minutes, somewhat harshly, for pulling down Iheanacho. It was a night to forget for the young Greek center back.

The young Greek center back could not believe his eyes when he was sent off by referee Graham Scott

Sead Kolasinac – (6/10)

Kolasinac struck the post early in the second half and has great feet for such a big guy, but defensively he does leave Arsenal exposed, which is always going to be a problem in an Arsenal defence which is already so expansive.

Granit Xhaka – (5/10)

In the second half of the season, Xhaka has been one of Arsenal's best players. But tonight, with the Mavropanos sending off, the Swiss international struggled to get going and could not dictate the tempo.

Aaron Ramsey – (5/10)

Similar to Xhaka, Ramsey has been fantastic for the Gunners in the second half of the season, but tonight he was well below par and rather disappointing, even with the sending off.

Ramsey had an extremely frustrating evening at the King Power

Henrikh Mkhitaryan – (5/10)

The Armenian was one of the main sources of chances for the Gunners in the first half. As the game wore on though, his impact petered out and he seemed to tire, making poor choices with the ball in attack. And even more, he made a silly mistake of lunging in to gift Leicester a penalty for their winner.

Alex Iwobi – (7/10)

Occupying a role much deeper than usual, similarly to how he did against Burnley, Iwobi was by far Arsenal's most influential player in attack, which is good to see after what has been a very difficult season for the Nigerian youngster.

Danny Welbeck – (N/A)

Unfortunately for a man who is desperate for a World Cup place in the England squad, Welbeck was forced off extremely early due to the Mavropanos sending off.

Pierre Emerick Aubameyang – (7/10)

Arsenal's record signing was clearly struggling to get involved, unsurprisingly with his team most of the defending and being down to 10 men. But as usual, he was still able to pop up with a goal for the Gunners, firing in a rebound from his own shot.

Substitutes:

Shkodran Mustafi – (5/10)

Mustafi did not always look comfortable and as the clock wound down it looked like a matter of time before the Arsenal defence would buckle, which it did.

Eddie Nketiah – N/A

The young Arsenal striker was given just six minutes to make an impact, and as much as he tried, could not affect the score-line.
