🎙️ In this episode of Rip Roaring Reds, we break down Arsenal’s crucial 2-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League, as Mikel Merino stepped up to secure three vital points for the Gunners.

With Arsenal missing key attackers like Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, and Kai Havertz, Mikel Arteta had a selection headache. The game remained goalless heading into the final 20 minutes, with Arsenal struggling to break down a resilient Leicester City side. But Arteta’s decision to bring on Merino for a struggling Raheem Sterling in the 69th minute proved to be the turning point.

The substitute made an immediate impact, scoring twice to seal the win. Youngster Ethan Nwaneri had been a rare bright spark before then, while Myles Lewis-Skelly produced some brilliant defensive moments to keep Arsenal in control.

This match review looks at Arsenal’s tactical approach, the impact of Merino’s brilliance, and what this result means for the Premier League title race. With the Gunners now four points behind Liverpool, can they keep up the pressure? Tune in for full analysis, player performances, and all the key talking points! ⚽🔴
