Arsenal player ratings: Leicester (H)

Arsenal kicked off their Premier League campaign in dramatic fashion beating Leicester City 4-3 at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners took an early lead through summer signing Alexandre Lacazette, who headed in Mohamed Elneny’s cross.

Leicester hit back quickly through Shinji Okazaki and took the lead through Jamie Vardy.

Arsenal equalised just before the break in a dramatic opening half of football. The second half was just as dramatic as Vardy hit the back of the net once again.

The introductions of Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey seemingly changed the game as both scored within five minutes to ensure Arsenal kicked off the season with a win.

Here’s how we rated each of the Arsenal players’ performances:
