Saka Features, Iheanacho Benched As Leicester City Set Club Record After Win At Arsenal

Published: October 25, 2020

Arsenal lost for the third time in the new English Premier League season following Leicester City's 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday night, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

As for team news, Bukayo Saka started for the Gunners but subbed out in the 65th minute after picking up a knock while Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho was an unused substitute despite his heroics in the Europa League three days ago.

Leicester City weathered the storm in the first half but were unlucky not to be behind after Alexandre Lacazette saw his fourth minute goal wrongly disallowed after a VAR review.

Mikel Arteta's team ran out of ideas in the second half and Leicester City grew in confidence following the introduction of Jamie Vardy.

The former England striker, on as a substitute on the hour mark, headed home the winning goal with ten minutes left, assisted by fellow substitute Cengiz Under.

Leicester City have now won their opening three away league games for the first time in the Premier League.

The Gunners, who are tenth with nine points, travel to Manchester United in their next game in the top-flight on November 1, three days after facing Irish side Dundalk in the Europa League.
