Comments:

League position: 4th Leicester City's goal was the 5,000th conceded by Arsenal in the top division. Only Everton (6,037), Aston Villa (5,978) and Manchester City (5,073) have conceded more. Arsenal's last home match against The Foxes was their 38th and final game of the 2003-04 league season. A 2-1 win ensured the Gunners' "Invincibles" ended the campaign unbeaten. The Gunners have now won six successive home Premier League matches, last achieved this in December 2013. Mesut Ozil was making his 50th start for Arsenal in all competitions. Olivier Giroud was booked in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 20th Leicester City are now winless in 17 league games against Arsenal (six draws and 11 defeats) since beating them 2-1 in their first Premier League meeting at Filbert Street on 23 November 1994. They have now gone 18 games without a Premier League win in London. Their last capital success was at Chelsea on 17 September 2000. Unused substitute, Ben Hamer was booked at the end of the match for dissent.
