TheSportsRush brings Arsenal vs Leicester City highlights, as Arsenal cruise to 3-1 victory over the Foxes.
Arsenal extended their winning run to 10 games across all competitions as they beat Leicester City 3-1 in the Premier League. Unai Emery’s side also registered their seventh consecutive victory in the England’s top flight, and are 4th in the Premier League table, level on points with 3rd placed Chelsea.
Arsenal started the game unconvincingly and an unfortunate own goal from Hector Bellerin put them 1-0 down in the 31st minute. However, Arsenal recovered quickly and found the equalizer just before the half time. Mesut Ozil brought the scoreline at 1-1 after the first half.
The former German international was influential for Arsenal in the game, as he was key to both the goals in the second half. A worldly through ball to Hector Bellerin allowed the left-back ample space to simply cross the ball to Aubameyang, who tapped-in to give Arsenal the lead.
The third goal was almost a gift to Arsene Wenger on his 69th birthday. Ozil deliberately skipped the ball for Lacazette, who simply played a through ball towards the space created by the German midfielder. It was a deja vu for Leicester defenders, as Aubameyang scored a tap-in in front of an open goal to make the score 3-1.
As Arsenal registered their 10th consecutive victory, here are some of the best Twitter reactions from the game:
Mesut Ozil playing like a man who’s absolutely f*cking desperate to be named in Garth Crooks’ team of the week.

Had KDB done what Ozil did today, you can bet your life there will be a special section on sky about how Pep has revolutionised English football and gets the best out of his players.

Mesut Ozil is less a footballer, more an artist who sees time, space and the world differently to all those around him. Uses the football field as his canvas and the ball as his brush. Salvador Dali in football boots 🙌

It’s funny how a few moments of genius (or missed opportunities) can change everyone’s perception of a player so enjoy this while it lasts, @MesutOzil1088! You deserve it. pic.twitter.com/9l86V33Hr8

Arsenal are doing what is known in urban circles as “a madness”.
