Arsenal came into this match at the back of nine consecutive victories in all competitions and looked for the tenth win in a row while the Foxes lost at home last time out against Everton. Last season this fixture produced a seven-goal thriller, and a similar goal fest was expected from this game as well.
Both the teams got excellent opportunities to score in the initial stages of the match. Leicester was playing the high line and repeatedly going behind the Arsenal defense with Leno pulling off a brilliant save to deny Harry Maguire from scoring. Finally, the Foxes got the breakthrough they deserved after Chilwell's shot took a deflection off Bellerin giving Bernd Leno no chance at all.
Just before the halftime break, Mesut Ozil came up with a sublime finish from a Bellerin cross to make it 1-1 at halftime. Leicester was better for most parts of the half, but Arsenal came back in the last ten minutes and deservedly got the equalizer.
The first chance of the second half fell to Mkhitaryan after a mistake by Mendy, but his shot went wide off of the post. Against the run of play, Leicester came close to getting their lead back, but Ndidi's header from a corner hit the crossbar. Few minutes following that, the Foxes were down by 3-1 with substitute Aubameyang scoring twice within five minutes with Mesut Ozil having a hand in the both of the goals.
Ozil came close to his second assist of the game, but Kasper Schmeichel saved Lacazette's shot on goal. The Frenchman could have had a hat-trick, but he missed another chance to score from a low Bellerin cross.
Leicester never really looked to be in the game in the second half, and the Gunners deservedly walk away with all three points from the game. Here are the three talking points from the match.
#3 Worries for Claude Puel
Leicester City came into the match with a specific game plan which was apparently on show from the very first minute. The Foxes were pressing high in the initial stages of the game with the fullbacks repeatedly marauding forward keeping the Arsenal defenders modest. They got the reward for their efforts after Chilwell gave them the lead through a deflected goal.
Since then Arsenal came back into the game and got the much-needed equalizer before the halftime. It completely changed the complexion of the match as the Gunners ran through the game in the second half with Ozil being the creator and Aubayemng the executor. It had instilled more worries for the Leicester manager who now has a lot to do after successive defeats in the league.
#2 Brilliant Mesut Ozil
After bringing the curtains down on his International career on controversial circumstances, Mesut Ozil's all the focus are now on club football and Arsenal. He got criticized for his lack of effort on the pitch and reluctance to track back players.
With the captain's armband handed for the match, there was an added responsibility on his shoulders to perform at his very best. After Leicester took the lead at a time when Arsenal was struggling to get a foothold in the game, Mesut Ozil came up with a touch of brilliance just before the halftime giving the host a way back into the match.
The second half it was all Gunners with Ozil at the heart of everything they did. First, the German gave an expectational through ball to Bellerin who set up Aubameyand for a tap-in and later he provided the assist himself for the Gabonese to score his second.
The fans must be delighted with his performance today and would hope he can continue playing like this for rest of the season.
#1 Winning streak continues for Emery
It's not easy to replace a manager who has been at a club for so many years. There was doubt when Unai Emery took the managerial ownership from Arsene Wenger whether he is the solution for their problems. From the word go, it was apparent Arsenal would be a team in transition and it could take the new manager a couple of years before they can hope to win anything.
But Unai Emery and Arsenal has exceeded everyone's expectations after the first couple of games this season. The Gunners are now fourth in the league above their arch rivals Spurs and playing the way the fans want to see them. There is a belief around Emirates now.
Arsenal started the game slowly, and it was relatively easy for Leicester City to find that pocket of spaces in the opposition box. It was the opening goal from the Foxes that triggered the Gunners led by Mesut Ozil, and now they have their tenth win in a row in all competitions.
