Arsenal started the game well superior to Leicester and dominated the first half. In the 27th minute, Arsenal scored with Leandro Trossard, but a foul on goalkeeper Danny Ward canceled out the goal. A short time later, it was the turn of the home team to scare, but a well-marked offside barred what would be the first goal of the duel once again.
In the second half, Arsenal started with everything and opened the scoring with Gabriel Martinelli, who fell after the goal with pain in his knee, but managed to continue on the field. Shortly after, in the tenth minute, Saka scored another Arsenal goal that was well disallowed. The visitor dominated the match, so much so that Leicester’s first kick came only in the 27th minute of the second half. Still, the match ended with that slim 1-0 scoreline for the Premier League leaders.
