September 28, (THEWILL) – Arsenal earned a dramatic 4-2 victory against Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium, maintaining their unbeaten home record against promoted teams. The win keeps them level on points with Manchester City at the top of the English Premier League table.
Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring for Arsenal in the 20th minute, finishing off a cross from Jurrien Timber. Leandro Trossard doubled the lead just before half-time, converting a clever pass from Martinelli.
However, Leicester City mounted a spirited comeback in the second half. James Justin scored twice for the visitors, first with a header from a free-kick and then with a stunning volley, bringing the score level at 2-2.
With time running out, Arsenal pressed for a winner. Their efforts were rewarded in the 94th minute when Trossard’s shot was deflected into the net. Kai Havertz added a fourth goal in the closing moments to seal a comprehensive victory for the Gunners.
The result extends Arsenal’s impressive run against promoted sides at home to 40 matches without defeat. It also keeps them in contention against now bitter rivals Manchester City, who they match on points tally at the top of the table.
