13. David Opsina – 6

Not the best of games from the Colombian although he did make two fine saves to deny Andrej Kramaric.

39. Hector Bellerin – 6

Showed his inexperience at times, but looked comfortable on the ball.

4. Per Mertesacker – 6

Was a little shaky at times, but the German was solid enough.

6. Laurent Koscielny – 7

Scored the opener from a Mesut Ozil corner and never looked too troubled at the back.

18. Nacho Monreal – 4

A poor game for the Spaniard who was run ragged by Riyad Mahrez.

7. Tomas Rosicky – 5

Looked a little off the pace, although is always good with the ball at his feet.

34. Francis Coquelin – 5

Protected the back four, but was wasteful when he had the ball.

14. Theo Walcott (Ramsey 73′) – 7

Constantly got behind the Leicester defence and scored what turned out to be the winner.

19. Santi Cazorla – 5

Failed to influence the game as much as he has in recent times and was a little anonymous.

11. Mesut Ozil – 7

Another good game for the German who provided assists for both goals.

17. Alexis Sanchez (Giroud 68′) – 4

Clearly short of fitness and never got going.

Substitutions:

12. Olivier Giroud – 5

Replaced Sanchez but failed to make an impact.

16. Aaron Ramsey (Flamini 82′) – 5

On for less than 10 minutes after suffering an injury.

20. Mathieu Flamini – 6

Replaced Ramsey and helped defend the lead.
