Arsenal 2-1 Leicester City: Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott strike for Gunners

Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott put the Gunners 2-0 up, but Andrej Kramaric pulled one back and the visitors continued to create plenty of chances in an impressive performance.


Wenger’s side held on to take victory and move up to fourth - for 24 hours at least - but the Arsenal boss had words of encouragement for the side propping up the Premier League pack.
“We played against a very good team,” he said. “We’re surprised that this team is bottom of the league – I knew that before the game.

“We could see again today that they’re a strong side, and if they can not panic and keep believing in what they are doing, I believe they will get out.
“I feel Nigel Pearson does a good job there. It’s amazing that suddenly you hear that they want to get rid of him. I think if they’re strong and keep together they have a good chance.”

The Gunners’ victory was their fourth in five matches and has seen them move right back into the heart of the battle for Champions League qualification.
