Arsenal moved back into fourth place in the Premier League with an emphatic 2-0 win against Leicester, thanks to goals from Thomas Partey and Alexandre Lacazette.
The Gunners were charged with matching Manchester United’s result on Saturday, as the Red Devils defeated Tottenham at Old Trafford, and were rarely challenged by a Leicester team that has struggled all season. Partey’s near-post header from a Gabriel Martinelli corner put the Gunners in front after only 11 minutes.
While Harvey Barnes put goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale to the test twice, it was no surprise when Arsenal extended their lead in the second half from the penalty spot.
After referee Anthony Taylor checked the VAR monitor for a Caglar Soyuncu handball that stopped Partey from heading into an open goal,
Lacazette stepped up to convert. Lacazette obliged when the official pointed to the spot.
