Arsenal legend Martin Keown has singled out one player for huge praise after the Gunners' 4-2 win over Leicester City.

Arsenal's thrilling 4-2 win over Leicester City on Saturday earned praise from club legend Martin Keown, who singled out Leandro Trossard as a fantastic signing.

Trossard played a crucial role in the win, helping Mikel Arteta's men maintain their unbeaten start to the season.

Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring, followed by Trossard's goal. Leicester's James Justin equalized in the second half, but Trossard's effort deflected off Wilfried Ndidi in the 94th minute, restoring Arsenal's lead. Kai Havertz sealed the win in the 99th minute.

Trossard hailed as excellent Arsenal signing

"What a buy Leandro Trossard was! Worth every penny," Keown exclaimed on BBC Sports.

"A perfect day if it finishes like this. Arsenal score from a set piece – who'd believe it? Arsenal just kept believing. It is a lucky goal and 'lucky Arsenal' is a nice tag to have."

The Gunners will look to continue their fine form when they take on French champions PSG at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
