The much awaited debut of Leno in goal for Arsenal saw the German play out from the back in a very composed manner. In the first half his perfectly lofted ball into the midfield was greeted with huge applause from the crowd and that pass nearly created a goal scoring opportunity for the Gunners.

Although he did concede two goals in the game, you can hardly blame him for those goals as there was nothing he could to prevent the ball from going in.

There is no doubt that if given more chances to start in goal, especially playing very well with the ball at his feet, Petr Cech may have to settle for a place on the bench.
