Arsenal secured a huge 2-0 win over Leicester City this weekend, and it was another impressive match for summer signing Nuno Tavares.

The former Benfica defender, who Edu Gaspar signed for the Gunners in the off-season, retained his place in the starting XI following a brilliant Premier League debut against Aston Villa last weekend.

With Kieran Tierney still not fully fit, the Portugal youth international once again took up the left-back spot. And Tavares was again solid, with the defender keeping a clean sheet against Leicester.

The result put Arsenal up to sixth in the Premier League table and extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine matches. And Tavares was key for the win against Leicester.

The defender kept Leicester’s right side in check for the entire match. And despite some nervy moments for Mikel Arteta’s side, Tavares and company were able to secure their first Premier League clean sheet of the month.

Indeed, the Portuguese youngster has defied expectations this season. And Arsenal fans on social media were buzzing with how Tavares played against Leicester.
