#2 Bernd Leno saves Arsenal again

Once again, Bernd Leno single-handedly earned Arsenal a point in a game where they should have at least conceded four. The Gunners have been overly reliant on him and the Arsenal defenders clearly need to have a look at themselves.

Leno has made the most saves (59) in the Premier League this season, followed by Matt Ryan (Brighton), Martin Dubravka (Newcastle) and Tim Krul (Norwich). It is never a good sign when your goalkeeper has to make an average of five saves per game.

The defence hasn't helped Leno and as a result, clean sheets have been hard to come by for Arsenal. Goalkeepers like Alisson Becker and Ederson have a world class defence to protect them, which is why they keep clean sheets on a consistent basis. 10 years down the line, nobody would know how incredibly consistent Leno was because of the fact that he played for a poor defence.
