Match report: Arsenal 0-1 Leicester

By Rob Kelly

WHAT HAPPENED

Jamie Vardy scored his 11th goal in 11 Premier League matches against us to condemn us to a disappointing defeat against Leicester City on Sunday evening.

In a match of few chances, we thought we had an early goal only to see it disallowed, while Hector Bellerin came close with a second-half volley that was palmed away.

But it was the visitors who sealed the points when a lightning break saw fellow substitutes Cengiz Under and Vardy combine for what proved to be the winner.

We started the match on the front foot – and had the ball in the back of the net with just three minutes on the clock through Alex Lacazette’s glancing header, but it was quickly ruled out for Granit Xhaka being adjudged to have impeded Kaspar Schmeichel.
