Arsenal’s winning run came to a halt when they played out an entertaining 1-1 draw with Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners played the last 15 minutes of this game with 10 men after Eddie Nketiah was sent off.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Jamie Vardy were the scorers for both teams, who each had chances to score more goals in a finely poised game.
After a fairly open start to the match, Aubameyang opened the scoring for the home side in the 21st minute with a neat finish after an intelligent ball across the six-yard box from Bukayo Saka.
Arsenal had the chance to double their lead before half-time when Alexandre Lacazette popped up with a shot. However, Kasper Schmeichel came up with a stunning save.
15 minutes from time, Nketiah, who came on moments earlier, mistimed his challenge on James Justin and VAR deemed it as a dangerous challenge and he was shown a red card.
A few minutes after that, Demarai Gray put in an enticing ball for Vardy to run onto and equalise for the Foxes.
All in all, it was an entertaining game with both teams fighting for the result.
