Match Reaction: Arsenal 3-1 Leicester Square

[Mac76]

Absolutely delighted I went to the game now after only getting a ticket late last week. Gorgeous goals and great to see Mesut run the show. It does seem since he was dropped that he's really knuckled down. Thought he was really trying in the first half too. Great not to see Vardy's rat face wheeling away after scoring and forgot he was playing at times.

Iwobi didn't score tonight but he's fuhking immense. His decision making exceptional at the moment.

And we didn't have to play a 442 minus Mesut to play like we did against Fulham. SHould have been 5-1 / 6-1 too. Thought I'd lost the plot when I saw Xhaka at left back...but it did actually happen and he didn't play too badly there!

nice to see Schmeichel let 3 in too

I rate him but they were some proper goals!

On another day Laca could have made it a proper thumping really warming to these fellas now. just need Socrates back to shore up that defence and we are golden

[Xhaka Can’t]

It could have been a lot different.

We never got out of second gear until Leicester forced us into action with their goal. Also, Ndidi hitting the bar.

However, when we got in our stride, Leicester had no answer. The second half was the best I’ve seen from us in recent memory.

Imagine if we could turn up for the full ninety minutes

I don't know about that. I thought it was a stonewall penalty at first but one of the pundits on NBC explained it at HT - Holding's arms were in a natural position because he was using them to jump, and then Mendy jumped into Holding and pushed his arm onto the ball. It was impossible for Holding to move his arm away and avoid the ball.

Watch the replay again with the ref's view, it wasn't a pen.

I saw their analysis as well.

How refreshing to have someone who knows their stuff actually objectively analyse football.

How come Iwobi got MOTM? Ozil shat on everyone out there, no way was he not MOTM.

anyway, great effort in the second half.
