BREAKING NEWS: “We could have won the game, but he was everywhere on the field. It’s unfortunate that Arteta doesn’t know how to utilize such a fantastic player,” said the Leicester coach, praising the £58m Arsenal star and noting he’s never faced anyone like him in his career.

Arsenal extended their unbeaten run in the Premier League with a thrilling 4-2 win over Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners appeared to be in control, leading 2-0 early on, but Leicester made an impressive comeback, leveling the score at 2-2 and threatening to steal a point.

However, Arsenal scored twice in stoppage time, securing all three points. Leandro Trossard seemed to have netted the third goal, though it was later ruled an own goal, while Kai Havertz added a fourth in the ninth minute of stoppage time to seal the victory.

Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring for Arsenal, with Trossard contributing to the second. Despite Leicester’s resurgence, Arsenal remained composed and resilient, demonstrating their determination to close out the match and claim the win.

Leicester’s coach singled out Arsenal’s £58m player for praise, noting his impressive performance and versatility on the field. He remarked that his team had never faced such a formidable player, and hinted that had Mikel Arteta fully utilized him, the match’s outcome might have been different. The coach’s remarks highlighted Trossard’s critical role in Arsenal’s success, despite not being fully maximized during the game.

Speaking on BBC Sport, Ferdinand admired how quickly Trossard had integrated into the team and his crucial contributions in decisive moments. He emphasized Trossard’s impact, noting how Arsenal showed great character to secure the win.
