Arsenal survive against Leicester City

Arsenal escaped the King Power stadium with the classic score line of 1-0 to Arsenal. Gabriel Martinelli claimed the game winner in the 46th minute with a beautiful tucked finish into the side netting. The Brazilian seemed to be hurt after his goal, but was able to carry on and finish the game.

Winter signing, Leandro Trossard, scored a beautiful goal outside which was called back through VAR due to Ben White holding the arm of Leicester goalie, Danny Ward.

Arsenal dominated the game with 66% of possession and only allowed Leicester one shot and it was not even on target. Arsenal was not able to find the second goal to give them breathing room, which turned the game into a nervy affair. Oleksander Zinchenko captained the side as an anniversary to honor the Ukrainian about the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Every win is crucial to the title race and there is no easy game in the Premier League. Arsenal plays Everton next, this upcoming Wednesday. Everton handed Arsenal a 1-0 loss last time they played a couple weeks ago. The Gooners will seek revenge on Sean Dyche and his team, this time home at the Emirates stadium. Arsenal still sit atop the table with a two point lead and a game in hand against title challenger Manchester City.
