It took them half an hour to remember they were in a game, but Arsenal was monstrous thereafter,taking Leicester apart with three gorgeous goals. They have won 10 games in a row ,and sit in fifth place , four point off the lead; Leicester stay 11th.
Leicester started the game well ,with James Maddison bossing midfield and Kelechi giving Rob Holding all sort of problems. But they spurned three different chances before,on thirty minutes, Ben Chilwell's shot was deflected past Bernd Leno by Hector Bellerin .
Going behind encouraged Arsenal to run fast and such, and a minute before half time they equalized , the hitherto anonymous Mesut Ozil's applying a gorgeous finish to a move he started.
Arsenal have been level in the break in every match of their winning run, and they returned to the pitch with the intensity of a team who knew. But they were nonetheless lucky to escape before they went ahead,Wilfred Ndidi thunking a header against the bar- but that was all Leicester could manage.On 63 minutes,Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang finished a fine move just tywo minutes after coming on, and three minutes later, he scored again. But the architect of both goals was Ozil,whose vision and touch was celestial;he deserved the standing ovation that greeted his substitution.
In the time that remained, Arsenal might have increased the margin of victory,but they will be more than happy with their night's work; though things was inevitably slow down, the Emirate's is a happy place again.
