Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City. Arsenal scored in the fifth minute of the stoppage time to defeat 10-men Leicester City 2-1 to win three crucial points and stay in the Premier League title race.
Leicester scored the first goal of the game through a Jamie Vardy penalty in the first half, but Danny Simpson was sent-off early in the second half which proved to be the turning point of the game. Theo Walcott then equalised in the 71st minute and the comeback man Danny Welbeck won the game at the death.
The Gunners were over the moon on Twitter after their team’s brilliant display against the league leaders.

Would be SO Arsenal to come away with this huge win against Leicester to only drop vital points vs Swansea and West Brom.
