In the Premier League, the Gunners hosted Leicester City, with the home team being heavy favorites to win all three points. The first half proceeded as expected, with Arsenal leading 2-0 at halftime, despite being pushed back by two goals from James Justin.
After being frustrated in the first 20 minutes of play, Gabriel Martinelli scored his first goal of the season. He completed a well-executed move by the Gunners to give Arsenal the lead.
Jamie Vardy and Steve Cooper received yellow cards for their protests following the goal. Vardy was accused of committing a foul by Leicester in the pregame build-up.
The VAR check on the goal has been confirmed, but it was determined that referee Sam Barratt did not make a glaringly obvious mistake.
Just before halftime, Arsenal increased their lead by two goals. In the opening minute of extra time, Leandro Trossard scored to celebrate his return from suspension.
