Leicester City player ratings v Arsenal: Injuries strike again, Ndidi at  fault, Thomas ran ragged - Leicestershire Live


Luiz, Lacazette & Pepe were all on target for Arsenal as they came from a goal down to beat the Foxes 3-1 at the King Power Stadium…

Tielemans put us ahead on the six minute mark when he surged forward and fired past Leno as the defenders let him attack at goal and put the ball away into the bottom far corner.

Arsenal levelled on the 39th minute mark when David Luiz headed in Willian’s well-worked free-kick.

The visitors took the lead on the stroke of half-time through Lacazette’s penalty, awarded after Wilf’s hands in the air lead to a clear and obvious handball.

Leicester lost Harvey Barnes to injury six minutes into the second half and later lost Jonny Evans too.
We have now faced more injuries as Barnes got injured 6 minutes into the second half, and Evans got pulled off too from a little nick…

The Gunners sealed the deal on the 52nd minute when Pepe tapped into an empty net from Willan’s cutback.

Arsenal rise to 10th place on 37 points, 2 points behind Villa and Spurs.

We miss the chance to move into 2nd place, and we sit on 49 points, one points behind Man Utd…

This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say about the match against Arsenal…
“We looked the better team within the first 10 minutes and the goal was deserved, but after scoring out goal we let Arsenal run all over us, and in the end we didn’t deserve to come out with the any points, let alone the win. We gave away too many free-kicks and fouls, which lead to 2/3 of their goals through a free-kick and a penalty. With Barnes & Evans getting injured that’s more to the tally of players injured, but that doesn’t take away from how poor we played.
Once again we’ve bottled it a little bit, after losing in europa and now losing to Arsenal, we need to pick up some form for the midweek match against Burnley…”
