ARSENAL are in charge at Leicester after coming from behind in a huge Premier League clash.

Youri Tielemans had the freedom of the pitch as he strolled through the Gunners’ backline to put the Foxes ahead.

But David Luiz then headed home an equaliser five minutes before the break.

And after a VAR check, Lacazette thumped home a penalty following a handball by Wilfred Ndidi.

Arsenal then began the second half as they ended the first with Nicolas Pepe tapping home a third from close range.

BAD LUCK FOR BARNES

Leicester have just confirmed that it was a knee injury which Harvey Barnes has picked up.

They’ll be hoping he is not out for too long.

57. What a turn-around this has been for Arteta’s men.

He’ll be hoping they can either add to their lead or just see it out.
LEICESTER ARE BEING PEPPERED

Nicolas Pepe makes it 3-1 to the Gunners and he probably won’t get an easier finish.
Really quick intricate football from the Gunners.

They went from defence to attack in a flash and when the ball seemed to be rolling out for a goal-kick, Willian squeezed it across for Pepe to tap it in.

Arsenal have a cushioned lead.

GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

PEPEEEEEEEE!

TALK ABOUT ADDING INSULT TO INJURY!

LITERALLY!
LEICESTER 1-2 ARSENAL

49. Just as I thought, Harvey Barnes has had to come off on a stretcher.

It didn’t look good as soon as he signaled to the technical area but it’s a chance for Cengiz Under to come on and show Brendan Rodgers what he is capable of.

47. Harvey Barnes may have to make way too.

The winger just seemed to over stretch for the ball and has twisted his knee in the process.

Not the start that Leicester would have wanted.

45. both sides have made just the one change for the second half.

Albrighton replaces young Luke Thomas who was having a torrid time thanks to Nicolas Pepe.

And Odegaard steps in for the injured Smith-Rowe.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

THE SECOND HALF IS UNDER-WAY!
SECOND HALF PENDING

Fist pump if you are ready for the second half.
NO NOT ROWE

One negative to the end of the first half for Arsenal was that Smith-Rowe had to come off with an injury.

Arteta will be hoping that it’s nothing too serious because he’s been a shining light in a struggling Arsenal side over the last couple of months.
FIRST HALF STATS

The Gunners have completely dominated possession and the scoreline reflects it.

Brendan Rodgers will be happy with how it started, but not be happy with how his side have let the lead slip.

But there is still the second half to go.

FIRST HALF SUMMARY

All I can say is WOW!

I hope for an entertaining game with goals and boy have I got it so far.

Leicester took the lead with a goal that was virtually gifted to them by the Arsenal defence.

But the Gunners didn’t let that phase them because they despite having a penalty chalked off, Arteta’s men continued to control most of the possesion which then rewarded them with two goals.

Both from set pieces. A free-kick and a penalty.

The second half couldn’t come sooner.
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!

I DIDN’T WANT THAT HALF TO END!

IT WAS SO ENTERTAINING!

NDIDI LOOK AWAY NOW

What on earth was he thinking?
Ndidi tried to make himself look big in the box but all he did was allow the ball to hit his hand in an unatural position.

And Lacazette made no mistake by cooly dispatching the penalty.

THE FRENCHMAN SCORESSSSS!

ARSENAL HAVE THE LEAD!
THE REFS GIVEN IT!

NDIDI HANDBALL!

ARSENAL PENALTY!

LACAZETTE STEPS UP!

WAS THAT HANDBALL?!!!!!!!

VAR ARE CHECKING IT!

HEARTS IN MOUTHS FOR LEICESTER!
DAVID AND GOLIATH

Excellent header from the Brazilian to even things up at the King Power.
A little bit of Brazilian connection for the Gunners.

Willian whipped in a fantastic ball for David Luiz to attack leaving Schmiechel in the Leicester goal with no chance.

The Gunners have really deserved that goal.

LEICESTER 1-1 ARSENAL
GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

DAVID LUIZ EQUALISES FOR THE GUNNERS!

GREAT HEADER!
