Leicester City 3-1 Arsenal: 5 Talking Points

Leicester City v Arsenal - Premier League
Game-altering decision?

#4 Iheanacho with an early goal and a different sort of assist

Leicester City v Arsenal - Premier League
Soaring high!

The former Manchester City man hurt the Gunners almost as much as his former side did in the EFL Cup final a month ago when Arsenal were put to the sword by the Cityzens.

The Nigerian landed a sucker punch on the away side, after Arsenal had dominated the early proceedings, to volley the ball adeptly from a looping header back across goal.

Things went drastically downhill moments later as Konstantinos Mavropanos hauled Iheanacho to the ground, pulling his shorts. The referee decided he was the last man and gave the young defender his marching orders.

From that moment on, the whole complexion of the game was altered and Leicester had the Nigerian to thank for the goal, and for forcing the rookie into the error.
