Jamie Vardy scored late on as Leicester City took advantage of Eddie Nketiah's red card to draw 1-1 with Arsenal.
Match Reports
Eddie Nketiah's red card proved costly for Arsenal as Jamie Vardy's late goal salvaged a 1-1 draw for Leicester City in the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's side looked set to make it four league wins on the spin on Tuesday, thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 21st-minute goal.
Yet, just four minutes after coming on, substitute Nketiah received his marching orders for a rash tackle on James Justin β referee Chris Kavanagh consulting VAR to deem the youngster's tackle worthy of a straight red.

For a moment; just a moment, I was hopeful that the lads adorned in the beautiful red&white outfit could run away with the victory. Suddenly; as though being struck by a blistering lightning of remembrance, it dawned on me that the team in question is my beloved Arsenal who never fail to disappoint its loyal global fanbase. Truthfully and to their credit for the umpteenth time, they didn't let us down, and gladly threw away precious 2points. The rest they say is history as we temporarily retain the insignificant 7th spot, albeit with the extremely high possibility of taking two steps backwards in exactly two days time. Still, we Hope On. After all, we are GUNNERS 4 LIFE.

Arsenal should have won this game.. Leicester is going downhill.. It was a lesson for the youngster Nketiah.. A man down is a man down.. Such an important game to keep the streak going.. I think Perez has touch the ball, the ball has slow down a little after passing Perez, but the angle of the VAR was hard to tell.. I believed Arteta has found his starting XI.. At least not loosing games easily.. Tierney is good, Saka, Laca and Auba formed a good attacking partnership, but I think Saka and Auba should switch side.. Saka is much stronger with his left foot.. He should have scored the near post goal in the first half of it was on his left..
