Kelechi Iheanacho (Vardy 70) 6 - Stretched the play and it wasn’t long before Arteta looked to set his defensive line deeper to nullify his threat. Getty
ARSENAL RATINGS: Aaron Ramsdale 6 - Denied Vardy what would have been the opener, but he had to do much better on James Maddison’s goal that went through his legs from a safe angle. Getty
Oleksandr Zinchenko 7 - Looked unstoppable when linking up with Gabriel Martinelli. The Ukraine international also looked to utilise a number of inverted runs to help create space on the flank. AFP
Gabriel 6 - A comfortable match and was strong in the challenge as well as being quick to react to the runs of Vardy in behind. Reuters
William Saliba 5 - A lapse of concentration saw Saliba head the ball past his own goalkeeper, a blight on an otherwise solid performance for the second game in a row. EPA
Ben White 6 - A strong challenge kept Arsenal’s lead intact as Patson Daka threatened to make an impact from the bench. Passing out from the back could have been better.

Thomas Partey 6 - Unlucky not to register an assist after his pass found Xhaka, but Partey simply didn’t have enough to do on the day. Arsenal’s press prevented Leicester from making ground in midfield. Action Images
Granit Xhaka 7- Reinstated Arsenal’s two-goal lead and capitalised on an error from Danny Ward. The Switzerland international made a number of positive runs into dangerous areas. Reuters
Martin Odegaard 6 - Stretched the play during counter-attacks with direct runs, and that helped provide space for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus to operate. AFP
Gabriel Martinelli 8 - Gave defenders a torrid time with his directness on the left flank, and he was rewarded with a goal from a well-taken strike outside the box. AFP
Gabriel Jesus 10 - Two goals and two assists. A stellar home debut from Jesus, who was unlucky not to leave the Emirates Stadium with the match ball. EPA
Bukayo Saka 7 - Helped Ben White out regularly and was impressive going forward. Unlucky not to get an assist with his cross to Granit Xhaka in the first half. AFP
SUBS: Takehiro Tomiyasu (White, 75) N/A - Brought in as Mikel Arteta looked to add fresh legs at right-back. Getty
Kieran Tierney (Zinchenko, 77) N/A - Looked to get forward to continue Zinchenko’s work, and enjoyed some positive link up play with Granit Xhaka. AFP
Emile Smith-Rowe (Saka, 84) N/A - On for Bukayo Saka in the 84th minute. AFP
Eddie Nketiah (Jesus, 84) N/A - Nketiah made bright runs behind Leicester’s line as Arsenal continued to try to score from counter-attacks. AFP
LEICESTER RATINGS: Danny Ward 4 - Communication with the backline was poor across the 90 minutes, and cost Leicester a goal at a crucial time to allow Xhaka to make it 3-1. AFP
Daniel Amartey 5 - Dealt well with the runs of Martin Odegaard at times but couldn’t seem to make enough plays on the ball. AFP
Jonny Evans 4 - Had nothing to stop Jesus, whose movement was too much for Leicester. The experienced centre-back got too tight on one occasion, and was very lucky to see his goalkeeper come to the rescue. EPA
Wesley Fofana 4 - Struggled to contend with the threat of Martinelli when isolated in wide areas. Didn’t look at all comfortable at the Emirates Stadium. Getty
James Justin 5 - Didn’t do enough when trying to stretch the play down the left-flank, and was nullified by Saka. AFP
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 6 - Looked tidy in possession in moments but wasn’t helped by a Leicester attack that struggled to enjoy any sustained spells of possession. Reuters
Wilfred Ndidi 5 - Sometimes careless in the challenge that gave Arsenal opportunities in dangerous areas, didn’t do enough to help out his backline. Action Images
Youri Tielemans 5 - Couldn’t establish his influence on the gamey. Withdrawn in the 63rd minute. PA
Timothy Castagne 5 - A difficult time dealing with Arsenal’s left-flank saw Castagne regularly pushed back into areas he didn’t want to be in. EPA
James Maddison 6 - An element of luck for his goal as his strike from a wide angle managed to go through Ramsdale’s legs. EPA
Jamie Vardy 5 - Worked hard and ran the channels but lacked service. His header when defending a corner was careless and allowed Jesus to profit at the back post. Getty
SUBS: Dennis Praet (Tielemans, 63) 5 - Tried to link play on the right-flank but couldn’t get going. Getty Images
Patson Daka (Amartey, 63) 6 - Looked bright when introduced but was denied by a strong tackle from Ben White with what was almost an instant impact. EPA
