Gunners top Foxes for 10th straight win
Print Edition
The brilliance of Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang kept Arsenal rolling along on Monday.
Ozil scored one goal and helped set up Aubameyang for two more as Arsenal came from behind to beat Leicester City 3-1 in the English Premier League.
The win was the Gunners鈥 10th straight overall, their longest run in 11 years. It was also their seventh consecutive league victory and moved them up to fourth place, two points behind leader Manchester City.
鈥淲e are beginning to play with heart,鈥 first-year Arsenal coach Unai Emery said. 鈥淲hen you continue to improve your demands are very high. We need to control the matches more than we are doing now. First half we didn鈥檛 play well but then we played with quality and heart. This feeling together is very good.鈥
Leicester made a good start and was rewarded in the 31st minute when Ben Chilwell charged down the left side and sent a shot which deflected off Hector Bellerin and past goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
Arsenal then took control and equalized just before halftime when Ozil made a run from the midway line, passed to Bellerin on the right and side-footed the defender鈥檚 quick return off the inside of the far post.
Aubameyang needed just three minutes after coming on to make impact as he tucked home a cross from Bellerin, who had been released down the right side by Ozil, in the 63rd.
Arsenal then wrapped things up three minutes later with Ozil at the center of a brilliant team goal. The German let a pass from Bellerin go through his legs to Alexandre Lacazette and continued his run into the area. Lacazette slid a perfect ball back into Ozil鈥檚 path and he crossed for Aubameyang, who easily tapped home at the far post.
