Scored: Jamie Vardy (80 years old)
In the previous round, Arsenal received a 0-1 loss to Man City. More generally, the Gunners have lost 2/3 of the last round in the Premier League. However, it is undeniable that Arsenal have changed positively with coach Mikel Arteta. Remember, both of the Gunners’ losses were to Man City and Liverpool, the top two teams in the Premier League today, not to mention that Arsenal are in the process of rebuilding.
Arsenal vs Leicester |
Coach Arteta seems to have formed the best squad for Arsenal. In terms of playability, the style of the Emirates Stadium team is gradually revealed as well. The Spanish military leader also wields tactics flexibly when Arsenal can play to impose a stance against small opponents, but is also ready to launch a defensive counterattack in the face of the Big Six representative.
On the other side of the front row, before Arsenal’s guest trip, Leicester had no confidence. After a surprise 5-2 win over Man City at Etihad, the Foxes lost the final two rounds, despite being kicked at home (0-3 against West Ham and 0-1 against Aston Villa).
Arsenal start list |
Coach Brendan Rodgers’ army has a lot of problems in the game, especially creativity. Statistics show that Leicester only threw an average of 9.8 shots per game, ranked 14th … in the Premier League. The number of chances they create from the “live ball” situation is only 5.6 times / game.
Also, Coach Rodgers has a headache due to an injury problem. This “nasty virus” has taken away Leicester’s best defenders, Caglar Soyuncu, Ricardo Pereira and Wilfred Ndidi. And yet even number one forward Jamie Vardy is not in the best physical shape because he has just recovered from an injury.
Rookie Partey has an exhibition at Emirates |
Before Leicester, coach Mikel Arteta soon expressed his desire to win all 3 points from the starting lineup. There is no longer a safe 3-back map, instead it is 4-3-3. Unsurprisingly, rookie Thomas Partey made an appearance at the Emirates Stadium, alongside Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos in midfield. In attack, Arsenal have a “trident” that includes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Saka.
On the other side of the front line, coach Brendan Rodgers re-emphasized Kasper Schmeichel’s goal security by using up to 5 defenders, 3 central midfielders, and no real strikers because Jamie Vardy just sat on the ice. Bank.
Going into the game, Arsenal entered the game very actively and soon carried the ball into the Leicester net in the 4th minute when Lacazette moved intelligently and then headed dangerously into the corner. But the goal was not recognized by the referee who determined that Aubameyang, who was on the other side of the post and had an impact on the ball, fell offside.

By overwhelming midfield, Arsenal completely dominated the game and had a number of braking options. The fact that Leicester advocated deep defense helped Partey and Ceballos to feel comfortable in the role of “dealer”, and at the same time created the conditions for the Gunners’ full back duo Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney to have lots of space, often. rise.
With overwhelming pressure, but the lack of sharpness in the final situations means that Arsenal cannot give up the Leicester goal before entering the break. Despite throwing 11 shots compared to just 1 from the opponent, the most important thing is the goal, the Emirates Stadium team does not have, even there is no situation where Schmeichel really has to show his talent.
Arsenal created countless opportunities but failed to seize them even once |
Early in the second half, Arsenal suffered human losses when David Luiz was injured and forced to make way for Shkodran Mustafi. On the Leicester side, this team still accepted the match despite Vardy being introduced by coach Rodgers in the 60th minute in hopes of creating an upset.
They outperformed in every respect, but Arsenal continued to fight against Leicester’s tight defense. The first notable situation in the second half came in the 68th minute, when Bellerin had a great opportunity to finish off comfortably after a cross shot from Aubameyang. Unfortunately, the decisive volley from the Spanish right-back was unable to defeat goalkeeper Schmeichel. This is also the only end … of the home team in the second half.

It wasn’t until the 80th minute that the tie was cleared, but it was very surprising that Leicester were the team that enjoyed the joy of an exemplary counterattack. Youri Tielemans shows great vision with a pass to tear apart Arsenal’s defense. Cengiz Under’s substitute player appeared “from scratch”, freed from Tierney’s attachment to Gabriel and then created for Vardy to hit Bernd Leno’s header.
For the rest of the time, Arsenal kept attacking like “head to the wall”, unable to launch a single shot and even escaped in a situation where Vardy had the opportunity to face Leno in injury time. 2. In the end, the Gunners bitterly received a 0-1 defeat at the Emirates, buried in 10th place and Leicester in the top 4.
