Arsenal got themselves into a comfortable position after goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard gave us a 2-0 half-time lead against Leicester this afternoon.
However, two in return from James Justin – one a superb strike – pegged us back, before late drama and finishes from Trossard and Kai Havertz ensured we took all three points.
Here’s how the players rated this evening.

Isolate Trossard in that pic and it’s a Broadway musical!
OOOOH klahoma!
RIP Archer
A big loss of a senior figure in the Arsenal family; sad to hear of it. Condolences, Andrew.
Imagine the sublime patience Archer possessed all these years sitting idly by as Blogs whipped up one breakfast sandwich after another, one post-pandemic pizza after another, one late night delicious alcohol-sponge after another? And the barks and shouts during tense Arsenal matches? Man’s best friend, indeed. RIP Archer.
RIP Arsedog
So sorry to hear Andrew. RIP to Archer. Dogs are the best.
Big big thoughts for Archer and you Blogs. Love you.
Trossards vote should be null today because according to the media narrative, it’s ‘unfair’ that he played today lol
Sorry for your loss. Those late goals were 100% him
Condolences about Archer!
Overall a good performance despite the second half scare. Big talking point for me has to be Nwaneri’s impact, looks a proper player already. James suggested he should start this game after Bolton and on the basis of this cameo, he more than has a point.
Agreed! I don’t think he can do any more to show arteta that he needs to start
Surely he can do a little bit more
Yeah Ethan looked excellent again.
Who’s the miserable c*nt down voting the RIP messages?
Michael Oliver
😂 spot on!
I think this season has already taken about 5 years off my life. Great to see martinelli back amongst the goals and assists, love that trossard was able to contribute when starting as opposed to his super sub role. Nwaneri was exceptional in his 10 min cameo. I thought the score flattered Leicester as they benefitted from two freak goals as well as a fantastic performance from their keeper.
To compete with city these are must win games and we did exactly that, albeit not as serenely as we’d hoped but these are the efoggin estandards. Let’s foggin go.
10/10 to Arsenal for giving me a calm, stress-free Saturday
“Calm, stress-free Saturday.” You missed the 2nd half then
Lol, is this reverse sarcasm?
Sorry to hear about your dog boss.
RIP Archer. Condolences. It’s so hard to lose a loved pet.
Just got my dog back after 3 weeks he was with his godmothers, was literally shedding tears earlier thinking about getting my best friend back, about him turning 5 in a few days and how quickly times goes by, and the thought of one day losing him. My deepest condolences Blogs.
Voting seems closed a little early.
Condolences on the loss of Archer, Blogs. I know firsthand how hard it is to lose a cherished canine companion. Gooners everwhere are very grateful for his scoreline contribution.
Condolences on the loss of a great dog.
And how can I downvote whatever idiot is downvoting all posts that offer condolences? Some people are just the worst.
Yeah whoever that is, have the balls to show yourself you gutless, pathetic wanker!
Maybe he’s reading the comments upside down??
I, honestly, don’t think it’s Peter Parker.
Some people, man. They never feel the loss of beloved companion.
Probably owns a cat.
Danny, I’ve had two kittens in our fam for four weeks now, they’re awesome and affectionate and lovely, I’ve never owned a dog, imagine that would be great too, but my point is, having these kittens for a few weeks has made me I think even more empathetic and sympathetic to Blogs’ dog Archers passing. Anyways RIP Archer and COYG!
Condolences about Archer
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Rip Archer. Been a big part of the Arse family. Sorry for your loss, he was a good boy
RIP Archer 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
This one was for Archer
Archer 💔
I feel the rating for Partey is too low. His passing was fine today and he manged to make a few tackles in the midfield without fouling. The fault on their 2nd is really Trossard switching off until too late. Even then it is a strike he will never ever repeat.
Start of the season it was too slow in recovery runs, then too many mistakes on the ball. Now after some solid performances (mistake for Atlanta penalty aside) he still rarely gets any credit. He was better than Rice on the ball today but he’s not judged equally.
He was very good today, I thought. I wish we had the depth, with Ødegaard and Merino injured, to regularly play him 70 minutes or so.
Spot on.
Yeah I thought he was great, made some crucial interceptions and shifted the ball well, good vision and decision making
Trossard had switched off. Partey had a good game.
RIP Archer! Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss
For Archer ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in Peace Archer…
Sorry bout you pup. I’m getting close to the same with mine.
Sorry for your loss pal, I had my dog killed by the police as I was waiting for a court date, he died in police custody, why was he in police custody you ask? Apparently due to how a dog looks, is enough grounds to kidnap the dog from the owner and go through a nonsense process to get your dog back, anyway glad arsenal won.
That’s truly awful.
Sorry about your dog blogs, you must be in bits.
I’m glad the arsenal managed a win for us. 10/10 Archer
Sorry for your loss blogs
Really sorry for your loss mate. Big up still doing what you do, don’t think anyone here would begrudge you a quiet week
Sorry for your loss Andrew. Lost my dog last year. The loss is tough. Our home is so quiet now. Great memories though!
Gutted for you re Archer 🙏🏼
Condolences for your dog, Andrew!
a few set plays delayed because of the opposition interfering, none of them penalised. buonanotte was fouled, raised his hand in a “showing card” motion and said “hey”. and he got a yellow himself for that. how stupid and inconsistent can these fuckers be. teams counting the amount of peanuts their players eat for breakfast to achieve maximum performance and the refs do this. 1/10 for these useless clowns once again.
Guys it is what it is and it’s ruining things going on about it all the time
the refs are ruining things all the time. i cant pretend it doesn’t happen. newcastle’s penalty yesterday. fernandes’ red card today. at least we’re not the only ones being hard done by the refs, but it does take the fun out of it and i’ll complain until things change.
35 shots, half of them on target and 17 corners. That’s gotta be some sort of record
Blogs so sorry about Archer. RIP
RIP Archer.
That 4-4 New Castle ptsd is long gone. You just knew we were going to get a winner. I love this team’s mentality
sorry to hear bout Archer. God Bless
Happy Trails, Archer. ❤️
10/10 for Archer from us all I’m sure & I just feel so sad for you losing such a great friend ! The lads did a good job to win but none better than you & my thoughts are with you on such a sad day ! Take care tonight & remember all the good
Sorry to hear about Archer Andrew.
RIP Archer. Sorry for your loss
Radio Raheem. My man!
Thanks Archer
Thank you Andrew, on what must be a difficult day ❤️
We showed great spirit today, hopefully we improve our focus for home games .
Wins, points playing with Martin and MM. I am so into this team’s ferocity. The backs we have, the rotation and the recover, wow. I don’t think timber has begun to show his abilities
Sorry for loss
The loss of a dog hurts so much. Thanks for getting on with the live blog when it was probably the last thing you wanted. Remember the good times, he knew he was loved.
17 corner kicks to none, 16 shots on goal to 3, 36 shot attempts to 5, etc.. You see those stats alone and you’d think we would have won by 4 or 5 at least. We had some great opportunities and their keeper was great with 13 saves or it could have been a much higher score for us, but we nearly tied that game which would have been a huge two points lost for us. Luckily we were able to get the win on a day City tied. Nwaneri in his cameo was great, should have come on earlier… Read more »
“Tied”??
Tell us you’re American without telling us you’re American.
Sorry to hear about your dog mate.
Ratings on point, impressed with Tross when he was deeper think Rice has to play 6 just now especially against lower blocks, tross is better on ball at 8 then we will have ethan, merino and Martin as 8s . Kai should only play 9, great options allround and what about our new fullbacks , masterclasses and Mr Benji Blanco still to come in , we have he’ll of a squad, let hope we hit our stride but done really well adopting without Martin, cause he’s always been the go to man
Farewell Archer. Loved hearing about your life through the years. Enjoy the walk with Maggie Smith.
The goodest boy. 💔
He’s up there, waiting patiently to share stories with Win.
Sorry for you loss, Arseboss.
Even our lazy couch-cat Thomas seems a bit down today..
Come May, it may all make sense..
RIP Archer ❤️
