Arsenal vs Leicester City

Micah Richards has heaped praise on Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus after the Gunners' 4-2 victory over Leicester City on Saturday.

I was not unhappy at Manchester City, I just wanted to play and the club understood.” He’s so mobile, so intuitive and he’s always sharp and pro-active to play in any moment at any phase of the game, and he’s a real threat.” Arteta added on Jesus: “He lifts the standards. Richards said on Match of the Day: “He was sensational. “He seems a lot more confident. To go to a different level, you need that mentality.

Gabriel Jesus stole the show on his home debut, netting two goals in Arsenal's 4-2 win over Leicester City at the Emirates. Here are 4 talking points.

His first goal was a thing of beauty as he curled his effort over Ward, and the second was a typical poacher’s finish as he was at the back post to head home. 15 minutes later, Jesus doubled Arsenal’s lead with a headed finish at the back post. Fast forward to today, and the Gunners have two wins from two and have scored six times.

Proud of everyone who contributed to the energy. Absolutely insane atmosphere at the Emirates today. When the cameras cut to those Arsenal fans having the time of their life, they weren’t celebrating a dramatic goal, they were so buoyed by what they’d seen before them that the mere positivity of it all had them bouncing up and down in joy.

First, an own goal from the otherwise impressive William Saliba (53) was countered two minutes later by an equally bad blunder from Leicester 'keeper Danny Ward, which allowed Jesus to tee up Granit Xhaka to sweep in. Vardy had a penalty award rightly taken away after VAR Mike Dean advised referee Darren England to re-assess the minimal contact between Ramsdale and the striker just before half-time. Until Friday, Leicester were the only club in Europe’s top five leagues not make a senior summer signing. Leicester are paying the price for a barren summer. But another lapse at the back within a few seconds put the 2015-16 champions two goals down once more, and this time there was no way back. The signs at Emirates Stadium were that Brendan Rodgers' squad needs bolstering urgently, especially with rumours linking Wesley Fofana and James Maddison to Chelsea and Newcastle respectively.

Gabriel Jesus was in top form yesterday as Arsenal beat Leicester 4-2 in the Premier League.

Although the club gave Eddie Nketiah a new deal, we expect Jesus to remain the first choice for the rest of this season unless he is unfit to play. Now he would hope he can make up for that by making Arsenal one of the top clubs in England again. Gabriel Jesus was in top form yesterday as Arsenal beat Leicester 4-2 in the Premier League.

Arsenal's opening performance against Crystal Palace was good but showed that there were still things that the team could sharpen up.

7 – Progressive passes for Martin Odegaard, leading all players. Zinchenko has been a nice complement to the skills that Kieren Tierney provides as a full back. His ability to interchange with Granit Xhaka has also been a very nice thing for Arsenal to be able to implement tactically. In this match, Arsenal were able to extend the dominance to 70 minutes and then did well to limit Leicester’s access into dangerous space for the whole match. I think looking forward we are going to think that his fee and impact on this team will be a bargain.

On a scorching afternoon in North London, Leicester City succumbed to an expected and familiar result to turn up the heat on boss Brendan Rodgers.

It could be the heat is making that a tricky ask but once again the opposition seemed to manage the conditions better over the 90 minutes. Following last season’s defeat to Nottingham Forest, Brendan Rodgers suggested that there would need to be a refresh of the playing squad. LCFC seem to let games pass them by these days as the opposition grow in confidence and smell the blood of a weak-willed adversary.

Mr Admin (me!) put up the Arsenal player ratings earlier and there were quite a few readers that took exception to a few of my decisions.

His vision and execution for the first goal was reminiscent of Henry. He is constantly moving, making it damn near impossible to mark him, and his instinct and reaction time creates panic in defences. Saka (6) Not one of his most influential games but when you have frequently single handedly taken the fight to the opposition over two seasons then you can be forgiven. Gabriel (7) Commanding under the high ball and made several forays forward but ultimately doesn’t have the vision to produce a killer pass when the opportunity presents so tends to turns back. The angle for the Maddison goal favoured him and he would have expected to keep it out. Had no reason to come charging out for the Saliba own goal and would have prevented it if he had stayed on the goal line.
