The Gunners have garnered through Martinelli’s composure once the chance presented itself. Leicester City were looking onto the counter-attacks while Arsenal overcame disappointment from disallowed goals.
Trossard found the back of the net in the first half with a sublime curled goal from the edge of the box but VAR’s intervention in the 30th minute proved crucial for the Foxes.
However, the Gunners saw out the game to maintain their lead.
