Fresh from a captivating 2-2 draw at the Etihad stadium against a sharp Manchester city side, Arsenal were freshly poised to face newly promoted Leicester city at their home ground The Emirates Stadium.
After a run of tough away games that saw Arsenal face Aston Villa, Tottenham and Man city, this game was tipped to be a breeze in the park for the gunners.
Things could not have started any better as prior to the game, Man city dropped points at Newcastle with a 1 - 1 draw. In the first half, the script went according to plan as Arsenal headed into the break 2 goals up.
Football is not always straightforward, in the second half, Leicester stunned the Emirates crowd by scoring 2 goals to level the game up at 2-2. The second goal from Leicester's James Justin is arguably a goal of the season contender.
As fate would have it, in extra time, from a set piece as usual, Leandro Trossard popped up in the far post from a Saka corner to direct the ball back to goal only for Ndindi to score an own goal.
Minutes later, a fantastic break saw Havertz convert the fourth for Arsenal. The game ended 4-2 but for a moment, the Arsenal fans were rattled 🤣.
