Goalkeeper:
David Raya – 5/10: Despite being doubtful due to injury, Raya started the game and conceded two goals. He wasn’t tested much otherwise.
Defenders:
Jurrien Timber – 6/10: Timber assisted Arsenal’s opening with a superb cross and was a threat on the overlap, causing issues down Leicester’s left flank.
William Saliba – 6/10: Saliba conceded a free kick from which Leicester scored and had some unconvincing moments against the Foxes forward.
Riccardo Calafiori – 6/10: Calafiori took risks with his passing and added a different dimension to Arsenal’s play. He almost scored with a late header.
Midfielders:
Thomas Partey – 6/10: Partey kept things ticking in midfield by distributing the ball to Arsenal’s creative players and had limited defensive duties.
Declan Rice – 7/10: Rice put in a strong midfield performance, controlling the game and consistently winning possession back. He also made a key pass for a scoring opportunity.
Kai Havertz – 6/10: Havertz worked hard up front and scored a fortunate goal. He also had a role in deflecting a header into the net.
Forwards:
Leandro Trossard – 7/10: Trossard made a significant impact, scoring and creating an own goal for Arsenal. His contributions could be crucial at the end of the season.
