Arsenal moved back into fourth place in the Premier League by beating Leicester City.
The Gunners had slipped out of the Champions League places on Saturday after Manchester United beat Tottenham.
But they climbed above United and West Ham as goals from Thomas Partey and Alexandre Lacazette secure them a 2-0 win at Emirates Stadium.
Simon Collings was at Emirates Stadium to see Arsenal in action...
Aaron Ramsdale 7
Had a good game, with the highlight being his stunning save in the first-half to keep out Harvey Barnes’ header.
Cedric 6
The right-back had a tough afternoon playing against Barnes, who was Leicester’s biggest threat going forward.
Ben White 9
Put in one of his best performances as he absolutely bossed the game from the back. He looked so composed on the ball and also made an excellent tackle to stop James Maddison scoring.
Gabriel 7
The Brazilian was outshone by his centre-back partner, but he still did well. Kept Kelechi Iheanacho quiet for most of the game.
Kieran Tierney 7
The Scot has struggled in recent weeks, however this was much more like his usual self. Made a vital clearance to deny Barnes in the second-half.
Thomas Partey 9 | Star man
The midfielder is finally finding his groove at Arsenal and he was excellent today. Broke up play and sprayed the ball around. His goal was the icing on the cake.
Granit Xhaka 7
Once again neat and tidy from the Swiss, with minimal drama or controversy. His partnership with Partey is vital for Arsenal’s chances of success this season.
Bukayo Saka 7
The winger looked electric early on and caused Leicester so many problems. Will have been disappointed to not get a goal or assist.
Some of his ball control and skill was out of this world. Opened Leicester up on numerous occasions and ran the show as the No10.
Gabriel Martinelli 8
Played with bundles of energy and pace to cause Ricardo Pereira so many problems. Finished the game with an assist and got a standing ovation when subbed off.
Alexandre Lacazette 7
Worked tirelessly as ever in his role of leading the line. Got the goal he has been craving by scoring a well-taken penalty.
