Arsenal survived a serious scare against Leicester at the Emirates.
Having led 2-0 at half-time thanks to strikes from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, the Foxes pulled it back to 2-2 thanks to James Justin’s brace.
But Trossard struck again in the 94th minute and Kai Havertz added another in the 99th to ensure the Gunners kept pace with Manchester City.
It will be a painful memory for Leicester, who felt hard done by with the extended amount of stoppage time in North London.
