An extraordinary performance from Aaron Ramsdale, who made three important saves to keep his team in the contest. Played a big role in helping Arsenal keep the clean sheet.
Takehiro Tomiyasu 7/10
Takehiro Tomiyasu remained solid at right-back. He did have some troubles up against Harvey Barnes, but not enough to allow Leicester the opportunity to make a breakthrough.

Enjoyed an excellent game at the heart of the Arsenal backline. He looked solid in his tackles, keeping Jamie Vardy in check throughout the game.

Thomas Partey 7.5/10
Thomas Partey had an excellent game in the middle of the park. He remained resolute and dealt well with the pressure of the Leicester City midfielders. Used his box to box qualities to good use as well.
Albert Sambi Lokonga 7.5/10
Albert Sambi Lokonga offered support to Partey in the second line of press. His presence was critical in denying Leicester the chance to dominate proceedings.
Bukayo Saka 7.5/10

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang offered more in the defensive game but was unable to make a noticeable impact on the proceedings.
