Arsenal claimed a crucial late win over Leicester on Saturday when Trossard restored the lead by adding a third before Havertz put the icing on the cake for the Gunners.

Full smiles for Mikel Arteta's side, as Arsenal clinch Man City at the top of the Premier League table with a last-gasp 4-2 win against Leicester, a few hours after the Citizens were held by Newcastle at the St James' Park.

At the Emirates Stadium, Gabriel Martinelli put Arsenal ahead in the 20th minute with his first goal this season, the Brazilian winger drilled a low finish inside the far post from Jurrien Timber's cross. Martinelli turned provider on the stroke of half-time, setting up Leandro Trossard to stroke in Arsenal's second goal.

James Justin reduced the deficit with a deflected 47th-minute effort and stunned the Emirates Stadium into silence in the 63rd minute when his thunderous volley cannoned in off the woodwork.

But Arteta's men stole the points four minutes into stoppage-time when Trossard's shot deflected off Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi for an own goal, with Kai Havertz netting moments later to confirm the victory.
