Arsenal vs Leicester City Player Ratings – Ozil on top form

Arsenal v Leicester Player Ratings

David Ospina 7
Solid performance, but I was surprised that he failed to stop the goal despite his view being obstructed

Hector Bellerin 6
Made a brilliant tackle that started a goalscoring attack, but perhaps should concentrate a bit more on the defensive side

Per Mertesacker 7
Was given more work than usual but stood up well to the Leicester pressure

Laurent Koscielny 7
His goal was very well taken under pressure, but Mertesacker looked more solid defensively

Nacho Monreal 6
Like the rest of the defence, he looked scared of losing too much. Where has the confidence gone?

Francis Coquelin 7
His usual steady self, but, like the rest of the team, was outclassed by Mahrez

Tomas Rosicky 7
Flashes of form from Mozart, but didn’t show his full orchestra

Theo Walcott 7
Well-taken goal and nearly gave us a lead early on, but was anonymous for most of the game

Santi Cazorla 7
When Santi is not at his best Arsenal always look weaker. Not his best game.

Mesut Ozil 8.5 (MOTM)
Best performance by the German for a while. Assisted both goals and always looked dangerous. We need him to play like this every game from now on if we still expect to get Fourth Place

Alexis 6
Probably needed his enforced rest, and likely to get another one after picking up a knock

SUBS
Olivier Giroud 5
Rarely saw much of the ball after coming on

Aaron Ramsey N/A
A shadow of the player he was last season, and his latest injury won’t help or hinder our cause

Mathieu Flamini N/A
