Some Arsenal fans react to Bernd Leno's outstanding performance

Arsenal continued their lengthy unbeaten run on Sunday, yet the draw at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers came as a disappointment for the high-flying Gunners.

The home side went down 1-0 in under 15 minutes, with Ivan Cavalerio firing past Bernd Leno after a slick passing move with Raul Jimenez.

Yet that was the only instance in which Arsenal’s German goalkeeper was beaten all match.

Leno turned in an excellent display between the sticks to preserve a draw for the Gunners, pulling out remarkable save after remarkable save in a performance that was rightfully applauded by the Arsenal faithful.

During the game’s closing minutes, Adama Traore burst clear for Wolves and looked set to win it late for the newly-promoted club. Yet true to form, Leno stood tall and strong, cutting off the attacker’s angle and saving with ease.

Some Arsenal supporters were quick to credit Leno with the point, and implore his fellow teammates to congratulate him for his saves.

Lets take a moment and appreciate Bernd Leno for his performance today. He's basically the reason we're not taking the L today. At least psychologically, we can be happy we're unbeaten in the last 10 PL games. His shot stopping and anticipation is different class.

Awful performance that needs to act as a wake up call. Realistically, a draw is not a fair reflection of the game. Hats off to Leno who singlehandedly kept us in the game. He did himself proud today, the others need to recharge and make sure to put things right vs Bournemouth.

In addition, supporters commented on Leno’s reasonable price tag this summer when compared with Chelsea and Liverpool’s big-money goalkeeper purchases.

Leno came in for £22.5m, which in this market is reasonable. He had to wait for his chance, despite Cech struggling at times. However, since he’s come into the side he’s been superb, both his shot stopping & ability on the ball. He’s still only 26 aswell, so will only improve.

And some supporters could not resist comparing Leno to a goalkeeper that many regard as the Premier League’s finest: David de Gea.

Bernd Leno reminded me of David de Gea today. Top performance to help us get something that we didn’t deserve #AFCWOL #Gooners

Saw the over rated De Gea let in a couple of goals he could have saved on MOTD. Leno is better than him
