Arsenal vs Leicester LIVE: Result and reaction as Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz take late Gunners victory

Arsenal take on Leicester City in the Premier League and look to respond to last weekend’s eventful draw with title rivals Manchester City.

The Gunners’ 10-man backline against City was finally breached by John Stones deep into stoppage time as Mikel Arteta’s side had to settle for a 2-2 draw when a remarkable victory was within their reach.

But after City’s misstep in the lunchtime kick-off against Newcastle, victory over Leicester would put Arsenal level on points with Pep Guardiola’s men.

Leicester have not found the transition to Premier League life easy after last season’s promotion from the Championship and they are still in the hunt for their first win of the season despite having three draws from five games.

It’s all over after a thrilling finish at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal return to Premier League glory. Leicester came into their own after starting the second half 2-0 as Buonanotte and a fantastic volley from Justin equalized for the Foxes. However, Arsenal’s staying power after the 90 minutes proved to be the difference as Trossard poked home and Havertz sealed the win. Frustrated by a late goal last weekend, Arteta’s side have dug deep at home as Leicester await a first Premier League win of the season. A final xG of 0.27 shows how much Leicester made of their chances, but the Gunners 4.09 xG outlines how hard they knocked on Leicester’s door late on.
