Arsenal 4-2 Leicester

The Loose Cannon Podcast

In a thrilling encounter at the Emirates, Arsenal showcased their attacking prowess but struggled to maintain defensive solidity, ending up second in the table rather than top of the table, after Man City’s slip-up at Newcastle.

Despite some controversial refereeing decisions, the Gunners managed to secure a VAR-positive fourth goal by Havertz, while Trossard's effort, which should have been his second, will go down as an own goal.

The highlight of the match was Justin's stunning equalizer, instilling hope for Leicester's survival. Arsenal's fluid possession game was reminiscent of the Hleb era, yet their reluctance to shoot was evident. However, dynamic wingers Saka and Martinelli, later replaced by Sterling, added a cutting edge.

Teenager Nwanieri impressed with his a long-range drive, showcasing remarkable footwork and confidence.

The question is: did Arsenal take their foot off the gas or did the Foxes just raise their game? I’m thinking the latter.

Martinelli getting a goal and an assist has to be good news. There’s been talk that he’s off form, but he still troubles defences. It was a good return from the Brazilian, who’s in my Premier Fantasy Football Draft team to boot!

While it's uncertain if Arsenal will clinch the title, being level on points with City after challenging fixtures is promising. Their tactical nous could push the champions to the limit this season.
