  • 66'
    GOAL: OZIL: ARSENAL 3 - 1: What a wonderful goal this is! Arsenal turn on the style, with an irresistible sweeping move upfield rounded off by the substitute. Mesut Özil is again at the heart of it, but fellow sub Mattéo Guendouzi did superbly on halfway to get things start. Arsenal have blown Leicester away in a couple of rip-roaring minutes. That was a gorgeous team goal.
  • 64'

  • 45'
    HALF-TIME: ARSENAL 1 - 1 LEICESTER: What a half of football! The visitors will perhaps be disappointed to go in level at half-time, however credit has to go to Arsenal for coming back in the game. Big half coming up here at the Emirates, can Arsenal maintain their unbeaten run against 'The Foxes'?
  • 44'
    GOAL: OZIL: ARSENAL 1 - 1 LEICESTER: What a finish! Ozil caresses Bellerin's cross in to Schmeichel's goal with an incredible touch. The Arsenal captain showed great composure there are the ball brushes the right post before going in. Game on!
  • 42'
    The hosts are getting closer and closer! Rob is Holding his head in shame after missing an easy chance from five yards out, the former Bolton Wanderers defender should have done better.
  • 41'
    Great play from Iwobi - he does well to control a tricky through ball before forcing Schmeichel in to a routine save. This is better from the hosts.
  • 40'
    Not too sure about the Leicester celebration...
  • 39'
    Xhaka's driven effort goes well wide.
  • 38'
    Maddison trips Torreira in a dangerous position, around 25 yards from Schmeichel's goal.
  • 34'
    Xhaka is booked for a bad challenge on Ben Chilwell. He stamped on his foot there, not malicious just clumsy.
  • 30'
    GOAL: BELLERIN (OG): ARSENAL 0 - 1 LEICESTER: This has been coming. Ben Chilwell does well to take a heavy touch past Hector Bellerin down the right hand side and fizzes in a cross. The Spaniard did well to recover, however inadvertently deflects the effort past Leno and in to his own goal.
  • 27'
    LEICESTER CLOSE AGAIN: Puell's side are playing some really good stuff here. After great inter-play, a Leicester cross goes just over Jamie Vardy's head, really really good work from the visitors.
  • 25'
    Leno has kept Arsenal in the game so far.
  • 24'
    Lichsteiner is down injured after a 50/50 with Amartey, however there was nothing wrong with the challenge.
  • 22'
    Corner for the hosts taken by Torreira...Harry Maguire gets to the ball first and defends it well, not the best start for Emery's men here.
  • 21'
    James Maddison is looking very lively tonight it must be said.
  • 19'
    GREAT SAVE: Leno does brilliantly to deny Harry Maguire's header from close range. The former Leverkusen man got down well with a strong right hand to turn the shot around the post, Leicester are all over the hosts!
  • 18'
    Less said about this the better, Arsenal.
  • 17'
    HANDBALL SHOUTS: The Leicester City players are adamant that they should have had a penalty, and they should have! Iheanacho challenged Rob Holding in the air, and replays show the ball came off the former Bolton defender's hand!
  • 16'
    Rob Holding is booked for pulling back Iheanacho. Tactical foul as it looked as if he had beaten him for pace and was in on goal there.
  • 15'
    Maddison blazes a free-kick well over Leno's goal. As bad as it was, his effort was an improvement on Lichtsteiner's attempt at goal.
  • 13'
    Ambitious to say the least from Lichtsteiner. He tries his luck from 30 yards out, unsurprisingly it goes well, well over.
  • 9'
    It's Leicester knocking on the door again! This time Iheanacho's through ball for Vardy is slightly overhit, with Leno doing well to be alert and smother out any potential danger at Vardy's feet. Very slow start to the game here from Arsenal.
  • 5'
    LENO SAVES: It's Iheanacho causing problems again, this time his effort is parried away by the German goalkeeper.
  • 3'
    The resulting corner is well defended by the hosts, with Leno asserting his authority early on.
  • 2'
    CLOSE: Iheanacho does well to beat Arsenal's offside trap, however his shot skims off Rob Holding and goes out for a corner.
