Goals from Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott gave Arsenal a narrow
2-1 win over a battling Leicester City side at the Emirates on Tuesday.
Despite Leicester starting promisingly, Arsenal led just short
of the half-hour mark, as Koscielny was afforded too much
space from a corner and was allowed to slot home his third
goal of the season.
Walcott - one of three Arsenal changes from their north
London derby defeat to Tottenham - made it two before the
break as he seized on Mark Schwarzer's parry before
Kramaric gave the visitors brief hope.
However, Arsene Wenger's men were not to be denied a
return to winning ways as they moved back into the top
four, while Leicester's loss was made worse by victories for
fellow strugglers Hull City and QPR.
Leicester began well with Riyad Mahrez their bright spark
early on. The Algerian proved a menace for both Nacho
Monreal and Hector Bellerin before Mesut Ozil and Santi
Cazorla began to pull the strings for Arsenal, allowing the
hosts to gain a foothold in the game.
