Lacazette thought he had given the Gunners an early lead with a header but Xhaka was adjuged by VAR to have impeded Schmeichel's view from an offside position. And it would turn out to be the head of Jamie Vardy that would prove decisive as he got on the end of Cengiz Under's pass to give the Foxes the victory ten minutes from time.
