• Hector Bellerín 6 – Though he did a good job defensively in the first half, he had a few loose touches and passes to concede possession, as to be expected on his comeback. He did improve in that regard somewhat and looked a threat going forward.
• Lucas Torreira 4 – It was far too easy for Leicester to skip around Arsenal’s midfield pairing, who offered little protection to the defence and similarly little going forward.
• Matteo Guendouzi 4 – As above, and Guendouzi’s forward passing was only very slightly more ambitious than his partner’s.
• Sead Kolašinac 6 – A bit unlucky Aubameyang had strayed offside for the disallowed Arsenal goal. Kolašinac had a half-decent game playing at wing-back but still had his part to play in the weak defensive effort.
• Mesut Özil 7 – Played well running the offensive midfield effort mostly on his own. Even made a few tackles, not that he should have to be involved in that regard as much as he is under Emery. Arsenal would have had no hope of scoring without him.
• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 6 – Strayed offside for the one good chance he did have, but he also made a couple for his strike partner and was unfortunately denied a clear chance at goal himself by an accidental handball by Ndidi. Had some particularly heavy touches.
• Alexandre Lacazette 4 – Missed a couple of great chances in the first half, and didn’t really have any in the second.

Substitutes

• Nicolas Pépé 6 – If Emery is trying to build Pépé up after his transfer then throwing him in when Arsenal have no hope is the complete opposite of the way he should go about it. The winger completed a couple of dribbles and won a free-kick in his 14 touches late in the game.
• Joe Willock 6 – Coming on for the last 10 minutes, Willock tried to make something happen, but again, he didn’t have much hope. The application was certainly there, as he made as many tackles in 10 minutes as any of the Arsenal starters in 90.
