Arsenal 4 Leicester 2: Trossard calls and Havertz answers as both ‘heroes’ score stunning last-minute goals to capitalise on Man City’s draw with Newcastle

Leandró Trossard took advantage of Manchester City’s error against Newcastle by grabbing a thrilling injury-time victory over Leicester.

After Gabriel Martinelli scored on minute 20, Arsenal appeared to be in complete control.

The Gunners led 2-0 at the interval after Leandro Trossard scored in injury time during the first half.

However, Justin’s header deflected past David Raya two minutes after the restart, cutting the deficit in half.

And the right-back elegantly pulled Leicester level on minute 63.

He grabbed hold of a deep ball and sent a forceful volley in off the post to rescue a point for Arsenal, who were now behind 2-2 for the second straight game.

But Trossard shot across goal after getting on the end of a corner to the back post.

And Ndidi’s leg gave way to the ball, which slid past a defenceless Mads Hermansen, who had performed admirably the entire time with a series of saves.

Kai Havertz then had time to seize a fourth to complete the comeback and secure the points.
