WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Partey and Lacazette send Arsenal back into top four

Goals in either half by Thomas Partey and Alexandre Lacazette helped Arsenal beat Leicester City 2-0 to reclaim fourth place. 

The opening goal came in the 11th minute, Partey heading in Gabriel Martinelli's corner at the near post. 

Harvey Barnes twice tested Aaron Ramsdale before half-time, firstly smothering the winger's shot before superbly tipping away his close-range header. 

After Caglar Soyuncu was adjudged to have handled another Partey header following a VAR review, Lacazette powered in a penalty to double Arsenal's lead on 59 minutes.

Substitute Emile Smith Rowe was denied by Kasper Schmeichel late on as Arsenal recorded a fifth straight league victory.

The Gunners now have 51 points, one more than fifth-placed Man Utd, who have played three matches more. 

Leicester drop to 12th with 33 points.
