Leicester lied to Arsenal and left Emirates Stadium with victory, after beating Londoners 1-0 in a game without many positions.
The Foxes were strong on defense, which made it difficult for the Gunners, who did not create good enough scoring situations.
His opponent was biding his time and arrived ten minutes before the end, when Jamie Vardy scored after coming off the bench in the second half.
Thus, Leicester stopped their streak of 2 consecutive losses and scored a goal with 12 points, while Arsenal stayed with 9 and missed the opportunity to climb near the top.
For the hosts, for the first time as a starter in the championship was Thomas Parthey. Nicolas Pepe and David Lewis returned to the starting lineup in the absence of Willian and Rob Holding. For Leicester, James Madison and Christian Fuchs started, and Brendan Rodgers’ lineup was three in the center of defense. Jamie Vardy was the backup.
The Foxes created danger in the second minute, when Leno passed Justin, but cleared the ball at Madison, who tried to find the target from distance but failed.
A goal from the hosts followed a corner kick and a deflection from Lacazette, but Obameyang ambushed the match, though he did not touch the ball. The Londoners took the initiative and began to pressure the rival. Leicester’s defense, however, was solid.
Tierney was very active down the left and delivered a good ball to Oba, but he shot poorly with his head. After that, the guests nearly scored an own goal, and Lacazette failed to finish off a dangerous header. In the 29th minute, the Frenchman missed the ball from a clear position and missed.
Until the break Saka shot imprecisely from a small angle and the break seemed to come logically 0: 0, after the good situations were almost absent.
After that, Gabriel made a mistake and Lester had a two-on-one opportunity, but couldn’t play the situation. An injury followed David Lewis, who was replaced by Mustafi.
In the 54th minute, Madison again tried her luck from a distance, but couldn’t shoot well and Leno saved. Brendan Rodgers let go of Jamie Vardy for the last half hour, which was supposed to bring sharpness to the guests.
The hosts definitely lacked creativity and continued to struggle in attack, before Obameyang found a well-connected Beyerin in the 68th minute, but his shot hit Schmeichel’s body, which he saved.
In the 80th minute, however, Leicester struck. Tillemans put backup Chengis Yunder perfectly behind the defense, and put the ball in the head of Jamie Vardy, who couldn’t miss and gave the Foxes the lead. This was the first accurate shot for the guests.
In the end, the Londoners acted too chaotic and did not reach serious dangers at Schmeichel’s gate, losing a match they certainly hoped to win.
