Ethan Nwaneri was named Arsenal’s Player of the Match following their 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in Saturday’s Premier League match. Despite the team being affected by injuries, particularly among their forwards, the 17-year-old showcased his talent, demonstrating why Mikel Arteta trusts him. Nwaneri had a remarkable performance, culminating in an assist for Mikel Merino’s opening goal in the 81st minute. He triumphed over competitors including two-goal scorer Merino, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Declan Rice to secure the accolade. Nwaneri received 56 percent of the votes, while Merino garnered 42 percent, and Rice and Gabriel received two and one votes, respectively. This victory places Arsenal only four points behind league leaders Liverpool.
