Szczesny - 7 - Remained relatively untroubled throughout the game. Did well when called upon. Couldn’t be faulted for the goal. Decent performance.

Many fans were perhaps a little disappointed at the final whistle because we had gone ahead with 20 minutes left, however, a draw against the champions is a good result and one the team can draw confidence from.
In many respects we were lucky not to have our point stolen from us at the end, yet Danny Welbeck was so unlucky not to see his chip bounce into Joe Hart's net.
Ultimately the draw was a fair result, and on the whole the arsenal performance was one of the best we have seen this season.
It's time to push on from here though. 20 games in a row unbeaten at the Emirates, let's start winning more now!

Wojciech Szczęsny – 7 - Saved us at the end and did very little wrong. It would be unfair to blame him for either of the goals but could have possibly reached the equaliser, which was a shocking bit of defending all round. His distribution was as wayward was ever, and Ospina will eagerly be waiting his opportunity to shine.

Arsenal managed a 1-1 draw with Leicester City in what was a performance fans are becoming more and more used to seeing. Despite there being positives as there usually are with the Gunners, they left the field with a result and a performance that aren’t good enough.
Sanogoals
His own twitter handle embraces his nickname but at what point will Sanogo’s lack of confidence in front of goal begin to concern the manager. Arsene clearly has an immense amount of belief In Yaya and it’s not without reason.

A frustrating performance saw Arsenal draw 1-1 at the King Power Stadium against a resolute Leicester. Arsenal had their fair share of shots, 24, but couldn’t find the target on more than one occasion.
Leicester held their own superbly as they used their share of possession to maximum effect and looked quite dangerous on the counter.
Player Ratings
Szczesny - 7 - Played well throughout the game. Distributed the ball well and made a couple of good saves. Most notably a full stretch diving save from James Vardy’s shot in the second half to keep Arsenal in the game at 1-1.

A clean sheet away from home in hostile Turkey can always be seen as a credible result, especially at this early stage of the season. Albeit a frustrating affair, The Gunners shouldn’t be too discouraged by their performance or the result this evening, as there are plenty of positives to take into the second leg next Wednesday.
Team selection this evening suggested that the Gunners wanted to build on their good fortune from Saturday’s result in the Barclays Premier League against Crystal Palace, by adding the presence of Olivier Giroud to the frontline in place of Yaya Sanogo. Nacho Monreal deputised for the yet again injured Kieran Gibbs at left back.
Player Ratings
Wojciech Szczesny - 7 – Arsenal’s number 1 was called into action within seconds of the kick off and pulled off a couple of good stops from Demba Ba in the first half. Wojciech was generally untroubled by balls into the box and covered well for balls over the top of the backline.
