U prvoj utakmici nedjeljnog programa u engleskoj Premier ligi, londonski Arsenal teško je poražen na gostovanju kod Leicestera na King Power stadionu.
Na kraju je završilo 3-0 za lisice, iako se na poluvrijeme otišlo rezultatom 0-0. 'Topnici' su od 36. minute igrali s desetoricom igrača, jer je drugi žuti karton dobio Maitland-Niles, a domaća momčad je brojčanu prednost, na kraju, i iskoristila.

Raspršene nade u TOP 4
Leicester je poveo pogotkom 21-godišnjeg belgijskog veznjaka Yourija Tielemansa u 59. minuti, a u završnici dvoboja dvaput je loptu u mrežu poslao Jamie Vardy (86, 90+5).
Squawka.com javlja kako je Leicester raspršio Arsenalove nade u TOP 4 Premiershipa.
"Lisice su dominirale u igri i iskoristile igrača više u igri, što je u biti bila ponuđena prilika Londončana. Golom Yourija Tielemansa započeli su pobjedničku večer, koju je zapečatio Jamie Vardy kasnim golovima.

Topnici bi još više mogli pasti u poretku
To znači da bi Arsenal mogao završiti vikend ili šesti, ili sa četiri boda od četvrtog sa samo dvije utakmice, ovisno o rezultatu Manchester Uniteda protiv Chelsea", stoji u pisanju renomiranog britanskog portala za nogometna događanja i analize.
Vrijedi spomenuti i kako je Arsenal do sad primio 49 golove u Premier ligi, čime se opasno približavaju brojki od 52 dobivena gola, što se dogodilo prošle sezone kad su odigrali najlošiju defenzivnu sezonu ikad u Premiershipu.
