Arsenal secured a dramatic 4-2 victory over Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, moving them level on points with reigning champions Manchester City in the Premier League table.

The Gunners took a commanding 2-0 lead into halftime thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli, who scored his first Premier League goal since March 2024, and Leonardo Trossard. However, Leicester staged a spirited comeback in the second half, cutting the deficit to nil and putting the home crowd on edge.

Just when it seemed Arsenal might drop points for the third time this season, Trossard’s shot deflected off Wilfred Ndidi and found the back of the net, sparking wild celebrations at the Emirates. Kai Havertz then added a fourth goal in the 99th minute, sealing a hard-fought win.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his team’s resilience after Leicester’s comeback, describing the victory as “emotional” and “superb.” He emphasized the importance of winning every match and said his focus is on improving his team’s performance week by week, rather than on the results of their rivals.

“We want to win every game and do our best to do that,” said Arteta. “Let’s go game by game and try to improve every week. We are in September, and we want to build the right platform for the season and be in every competition.”

The win marks Arsenal’s fourth in the Premier League this season and sets up an exciting title race as they prepare for the upcoming fixtures.
