Arsenal did not start off on the right note. Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac both missed the match due to a tight hamstring and Stephan Lichtsteiner had to play in his less preferred role of a left-back. Things became worse when Leicester City pressed so high up on the pitch and restricted Arsenal's creativity. To the credit of the Foxes, they took the lead through an own goal from Hector Bellerin. The full-back certainly failed to impress in the first half and so did the rest of his team-mates until the 45th minute when Mesut Ozil scored the equaliser.
Once again, because of the speed that many of the players on the Arsenal team have, they managed to break quickly on a counterattack, which allowed the captain to level just before the break. After the interval, the Gunners came out stronger and dominated the game. The turning point came when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came on for Lichtsteiner.
Within minutes of coming on, the Gabonese helped his side take the lead for the first time in the game. Not long later, he doubled his goal tally for the night. The two goals from him were sufficient to see his side get all three points before they travel to Portugal for their UEFA Europa League clash against Sporting Lisbon.
The result meant that the North London club now has the same number of points as Tottenham and Chelsea. The three clubs are separated only by marginal goal differences. Since losing the opening two games to Manchester City and Chelsea, Unai Emery seem to have gotten the hang of the demands of the English Premier League. The manager has been able to find some sort of momentum along with his players and motivate them to press harder in the second-half. Essentially, Arsenal is now a second-half team rather than finishing it off early in the match.
Even though the club's defensive frailties remain a huge concern, it is time to celebrate 10 consecutive victories. It is the first time since 2007 that the team has managed to achieve such a feat. Here was how fans celebrated online.
