Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri has been voted the Player of the Match after an impressive display in their 2-0 win over Leicester City, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The England-born midfielder of Nigerian descent delivered a standout performance, providing a crucial assist for Mikel Merino's 81st-minute opener.
Nwaneri, an academy graduate, edged out strong competition from Merino, who scored both goals, as well as Gabriel Magalhães and Declan Rice to claim the award.

Nwaneri's performance was all the more impressive given Arsenal's injury woes, particularly among their attacking players.
