“The best player on the pitch”- Joe Cole says one Arsenal player was way better than everyone else against Leicester City this afternoon

Arsenal didn’t have the easiest of games against Leicester City on Saturday afternoon.

 

Indeed, for the first 70 minutes of the game, Arsenal looked every bit a team that was without their star players.

 

 

Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus were all absent due to injury against Leicester City, and you could very much tell.

 

Havertz is out for the season after tearing his hamstring this week.

 

Indeed, Arsenal may have won 2-0 with a brace of late goals from Mikel Merino, but they were largely disjointed in their attacking play at the King Power Stadium.

 

However, there was one player who managed to shine.

 

Ethan Nwaneri was the brightest spark for Arsenal for most of the afternoon, and speaking during his commentary on TNT Sports, Joe Cole noted just how good Nwaneri was on numerous occasions.
