Five Takeaways From Arsenal’s Win Against Leicester City

October 30, 2021
Arsenal on Saturday at the King Power Stadium defeated Leicester City 2-0 to climb to fifth place in the English Premier League table albeit temporarily.
Goals from Gabriel Malgehues and Emile Smith Rowe in the first half were enough to ensure that the Gunners are undefeated in eight league games.
Prime Business Africa’s Senior Correspondent, Izuchukwu Okosi presents the five things noted from this game.

1. Great Arsenal Start, Shaky End
The Gunners started sprightly in the first half and surged to a two-goal lead but as the first half wore on, they allowed the home side to find some rhythm.
Arsenal fans would be grateful to goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale who produced a wonderful save from a James Maddison free kick to keep the scoreline at 2-0 after 45 minutes.
Same witnessed against Aston Villa… That spell lingered into the second half but thankfully
2. Ramsdale Ball Distribution
Aaron Ramsdale began the game with assured was with his passes and disteirion but also had some of the balls intercepted. A lot was said about the Englishman when he left Sheffield United to join Arsenal. Many supporters of the Emirates Stadium club didn’t want him either, but he has proved every single one of his doubters wrong.

3. Arsenal Turning ‘The Corner’

Scoring from set-pieces have not particularly been Arsenal’s forte but in recent games they have been doing that commendably.

Mikel Arteta’s side have scored in four consecutive games from corners node than they managed throughout last season at three. They have improved massively on this aspect of their game.

4. Away Fortunes Smiles At Arsenal

Arsenal’s form has not been a good one over the years but they have gradually started rewriting that narrative.

Aside defeats to Brentford and Manchester City plus a draw at Brighton and Hove Albion, Arsenal have scored more goals away from home on Saturday than they have in the other four Premier League away matches this season combined.
