Arsenal left it late as two goals in second-half stoppage time saw them overcome a resilient Leicester City 4-2 at Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Leicester looked set to claim a point against the odds thanks to James Justin’s double in the opening 18 minutes of the second half.
Arsenal had been in complete control after Gabriel Martinelli opened his account for the season with an instinctive finish inside the box, with Leandro Trossard doubling the hosts’ advantage.
Yet Justin – whose second was an eye-catching volley – turned the match on its head until Mikel Arteta’s side came good again in the closing stages, with Trossard’s effort deflected in by the unfortunate Wilfried Ndidi before Kai Havertz sealed the win.
