Arsenal 3-1 Leicester City
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Emirates Stadium
A sublime display from captain Mesut Ozil inspired Arsenal as they came from behind to beat Leicester and extend their winning run to 10 games.
After a shaky start from the Gunners, Leicester took the lead through a Hector Bellerin own goal but Ozil - back in the side following a back spasm - turned home an equaliser on the stroke of half-time.
He was then heavily involved in two goals for substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - who had also netted twice off the bench at Fulham last time out - with Arsenal eventually running out 3-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium.
Head coach Unai Emery will be slightly concerned by the pedestrian nature of Arsenal's opening 40 minutes - but the Spaniard will be pleased to toast a seven-match Premier League winning streak which has taken his side to within two points of the top.

Arsenal handed a full Premier League debut to Stephan Lichtsteiner. The 34-year-old was drifted in at left-back, with both Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac missing out with minor hamstring complaints.
Lichtsteiner was one of two changes as Mesut Ozil also returned to captain the Gunners.
Jonny Evans came in for Leicester to replace suspended captain Wes Morgan in the only alteration from the side beaten 2-1 by Everton before the international break.
