Arsenal beat Leicester at the end of the stoppage – The Équipe.fr

There was no Saturday “ Dream” or “ fairytale ” as is week by week rehashing when it comes to evoke the phenomenon Leicester. Rather, a hard return to earth, brutal, unexpected, at 90 + 5 minutes of a game that Claudio Ranieri’s team had valiantly held. Author of the opening goal from the penalty spot (see below), reduced to 10 soon after following the logic of expulsion Danny Simpson (54th, the first red card of the season for the Foxes ) the leader of the Premier League has gone through all the states before suffering its first loss in the league of 2016 on the lawn of Arsenal (1-2).

This success bears paw coaching Arsene Wenger: back to score on their first shot on target of the match Theo Walcott signed (came into play for 10 minutes), served by Olivier Giroud, the Gunners have offered all three points at the end of extra time. On a free kick conceded to 30m by Marcin Wasilewski pulled by Mesut Özil, the returning Danny Welbeck sidelined for almost a year, has released his side of the head (90 + 5) 12 minutes after entering the game.

Apart from this stupid fault of the Polish defender, as ugly as that of Danny Drinkwater on Aaron Ramsey a quarter of an hour earlier, Leicester defense had hitherto made the round back, goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel saving the house twice face Giroud (87th) and Sanchez (90 + 4). In the end, nothing either have nightmares for Claudio Ranieri, but surely some problems given the Arsenal back on his heels (2 points behind).

The case animated Twitter for a good quarter of an hour: penalty or no penalty on the fault of Nacho Monreal faces Jamie Vardy (44th)? The Emirates has in any case booed the referee, Martin Atkinson, who had just left the advantage to Leicester after a heavy foul on Laurent Koscielny N’Golo Kanté in the right lane. At idle, if Jamie Vardy clearly seems fine play its history, the Spanish defender can not be trapped in this way. And striker Leicester logically validated his 19th goal of the season.

We have seen right, seen at left, we saw bother – much – Alexis Sanchez (29th, 39th), a little bored Olivier Giroud ( 30th) and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (19th). Center for Mahrez (9th), strike at goal (77th), and collect a yellow card for Mesut Ozil have halted on against (56th). Sunday at the Emirates, the French midfielder was simply the player’s camp that hit more balls. French coach Didier Deschamps therefore could not miss it.
