Behind after six minutes, Arsenal dominated possession, scored three times before the hour mark and looked good value for a 3-1 win against a depleted Leicester City team. Mikel Arteta made six changes, with Cédric Soares and Pablo Marí coming into the defence, and Willian, Pépé and Alexandre Lacazette coming in upfield. Arsenal started well enough, keeping the ball nicely, right up until the moment Leicester had their first attack of the game and scored a brilliant goal. Arsenal went 3-1 up on 52 minutes with a fine team goal that was made and scored by Pépé. Deprived now of two members of a weakened team, Leicester looked a little lost.
