3 positives & negatives from Arsenal’s 4-2 win over Leicester

It was another great win for Arsenal this week, this time against Leicester City. Anytime you score four it’s going to be a blast and we got a cherry on top with Manchester United conceding the same amount away at Brentford. Lol.

That being said, it wasn’t a perfect performance. Here are some positives and negatives from the win.

Positive #1: Gabriel Martinelli

Martinelli was absolutely incredible on Saturday. He gave the very good Wesley Fofana a very hard time down Arsenal’s left. He is an incredibly direct player, and the introduction of Gabriel Jesus has helped him so much because the two of them are a dangerous duo up front.

It has already been two games, two goals for him. Really excited to see his output go up a level this season.

Negative #1: Aaron Ramsdale

After a great performance last week, a disappointing one on this occasion.

As a goalkeeper, you’re never going to be happy when you let in two goals and his concession to James Maddison was a far cry from his incredible save from his free kick last season. The last thing you want is for the ball to go through your legs but that’s exactly what happened to Rambo.

However, he impressed with the ball at his feet – something that we couldn’t say about his performance at Selhurst Park.
