Arsenal scored twice in a time period to beat Leicester 4-2 and move level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City.
James Justin’s second-half double had brought Leicester back level at 2-2 from 2-0 down, but Wilfred Ndidi’s own goal (90+4) from another Arsenal corner put the Gunners back ahead before Kai Havertz settled the result on the counter (90+9), after a VAR check on the goal.
It was the Gabriel Martinelli show in north London during the first half as the Brazilian swept home Jurrien Timber’s cross (20), then set up Leandro Trossard’s slotted finish on the stroke of half-time.
Leicester had just one touch in the Arsenal penalty area during the first half and failed to register a shot on target on David Raya’s goal, but that all changed early in the second half as Justin’s header took a wicked deflection off Havertz to halve the deficit.
Arsenal then faced incredible resistance from Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen as they bid to restore their two-goal cushion, with the shot-stopper clawing out Gabriel’s header from a corner and then the close-range rebound from Riccardo Calafiori.
