Comments:

League position: 3rd This was the first time in 31 Premier League games since their 5-3 win at Chelsea in October 2011 that Arsenal had recovered to win after trailing at half-time (lost 19). This was only the second time in their last 12 attempts that the Gunners had beaten the Premier League leaders (lost six).

Comments:

League position: 1st This was only Leicester City's second defeat in their last 17 Premier League away games (won ten). Danny Simpson became the first Foxes player to be sent-off since Matt James in a Premier League game at Aston Villa on 10 January 2015.
