That is all from us here at Tribe as Arsenal produce another late show in a dramatic game of football to beat Leicester at the Emirates Stadium and go level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table. I'm Andrew Smith and thank you for joining me. Until next time!
How important will that victory for Arsenal prove to be come the end of the season. For now, Arsenal draw level on points with Man City at the top, with a slightly inferior goal difference. If Liverpool win away at Wolves, they will take top spot. It's early days, but it will be another three horse race for the Premier League title. With the number of points needed to win the league skyrocketing in recent years, every dropped point is so significant. Arsenal will be relieved they didn't drop any here today after City drew with Newcastle. Over to you, Liverpool.
The numbers behind this game are extraordinary. Arsenal created the most expected goals of the season at 4.12 and Leicester's 0.27 tally was the third lowest of the season - yet, Arsenal nearly failed to win. A bonkers afternoon.
ARSENAL WITH A HUGE WIN! Well, well. Arsenal claim the spoils, but boy were they pushed. For a large percentage of that second half Leicester were good value for the point. When goals from Martinelli and Trossard put Arsenal in control at half-time, following a dismal display from Leicester, there was seemingly no way back for the away side. Scratch that, as James Justin's brace, the first a header and the second a simply stunning volley hauled the Foxes back into the game. They dug deep and defended resiliently, relying on a string of remarkable saves from Hermansen to keep the score level. However, the pressure was too much as an own goal from Ndidi deep into stoppage time followed by Havertz's close-range finish wrapped up the points for Arsenal. Arteta looks forlorn at the full-time whistle, presumably because he wanted this game wrapped up after half-time. Credit to Leicester nonetheless. They will be gutted they haven't taken anything from this game.

ARSENAL WRAP IT UP! Havertz has bundled the ball over the line, but the flag is up. Not sure this will count. Jesus launches a quick counter, gets into the area and draws a save from Hermansen, before Justin intervenes and prods the ball onto Havertz who bundles the ball over the line. Havertz' goal stands! And Arsenal have the three points they came for.

Very little time for these Leciester subs to have an impact as Ndidi and Okoli make way for Fatawu and Edouard.
