BREAKING NEWS: “We could have won the game, but he dominated the field… it’s a shame Arteta doesn’t know how to utilize such an exceptional player,” said the Leicester coach, who remarked that he has never encountered a player like the £58m Arsenal star in his entire career, praising the talent.

Arsenal continued their impressive Premier League run with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners looked to be in firm control, leading 2-0 early in the match.

However, Leicester responded with two goals to level the game, creating tension as they threatened to steal a point. Despite the comeback, Arsenal responded with two crucial goals in stoppage time, securing the win.

Leandro Trossard was at the center of Arsenal’s efforts, initially appearing to score the third goal, which was later ruled an own goal. Trossard, who had already contributed to Arsenal’s second goal, showcased his influence on the match. Kai Havertz netted Arsenal’s fourth in the ninth minute of stoppage time, sealing the victory. Gabriel Martinelli had earlier opened the scoring, but it was Trossard’s presence and performance that drew attention.

Football pundit Rio Ferdinand heaped praise on Trossard, describing him as a fantastic signing for Arsenal. Acquired from Brighton for £27 million in 2023, Trossard has since proven his value to Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Ferdinand, speaking to BBC Sports, expressed his admiration for Trossard’s ability to change games at pivotal moments, calling him “worth every penny.” He also praised Arsenal’s resilience in staying determined to secure the win, even when the game seemed to be slipping from their grasp.

The win brought Arsenal level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, both teams holding 14 points. Meanwhile, Chelsea followed closely behind in third place, with 13 points. Liverpool was still in contention to overtake both teams, depending on the outcome of their upcoming match against Wolves.

Another BBC analyst, Pat Nevin, also commended Arsenal’s victory, noting their superiority over Leicester City. He highlighted Arsenal’s resilience, emphasizing how they fought hard for the win, showing great character throughout the match.

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal continues to establish themselves as a serious contender for the Premier League title, demonstrating a well-rounded approach with creativity, set-piece execution, and determination. While the match may not have been Arsenal’s smoothest performance, the victory adds to their growing confidence as they aim to challenge for the title once again this season.
