Arsenal pip Leicester City, regain Premier League control

Arsenal regained a five-point lead in the Premier League title race as they edged Leicester City with a 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Gabriel Martinelli scored the game’s only goal a minute into the second half to open up a five-point gap on second-placed Manchester City. Mikel Arteta’s side have recovered with two straight victories following a four match winless run earlier this month.

Arsenal, who were captained by Oleksandr Zinchenko as a mark of respect on the first anniversary of Ukraine’s conflict with Russia, thought they had opened the scoring on 28 minutes through Leandro Trossard.
