Comments:

League position: 7th Arsenal failed in their attempt to win four consecutive games without conceding a goal for the first time since May 2014. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang became the fourth player to score 20 or more league goals in each of the last five seasons in the top five European leagues; also Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Lewandowski. Eddie Nketiah was initially shown a yellow card after 75 minutes but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review. The Gunners had now been shown five red cards so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team.

Comments:

League position: 4th Leicester City remained without an away win in the Premier League since New Year's Day 2020 at Newcastle United. The Foxes had now scored 18 goals in the last 15 minutes of their games so far in this Premier League season; more than any other team. Jamie Vardy had now scored ten goals in his last ten games against Arsenal in the Premier League, including seven in his last six.
