Arsenal 3-1 Leicester LIVE: Premier League score; Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang double | Football | sport

Super-submarine Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals in three minutes to extend Arsenal's winning run with a 3-1 victory over Leicester's return to Emirates.

Leicester started stronger and Ben Chilwell forced the first goal of the match when his center was deflected by Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin and former goalkeeper Bernd Leno in the 31st minute.

But Arsenal entered the match and captain Mesut Ozil equalized after stroking the shot from the left foot of the post to end a fluid movement.

Substitute Aubameyang then flew to show after he came into play in the 61st minute to ensure that Arsenal stretched its winning streak in all 10-game competitions.

He was there to tap into an empty goal from another Bellerin center in the 63rd minute and again finished the smooth run, orchestrated by Ozil in the 66th minute.

The next Arsenal league match will take place at the Crystal Palace on Sunday, after facing Sporting in Lisbon on Thursday in the Europa League. Leicester City hosts West Ham on Saturday.

James: If you had drunk as much Red Bull as Jamie Vardy before a game, you would be gone for a comforting break, quite sharp too, I want to …

John: Arsenal wins 3-1, ten in a row, Aubameyang scores twice and yet the night belongs to Ozil. It was just magic. One of his best performances in Arsenal shirt.

Tom: Arsenal has gone from shreds to crawling. Three breathtaking goals, with Ozil leading as captain. And Xhaka is found on the left-back. Emery can do little harm nowadays Ten wins in a row.

ARSENAL 3-1 LEICESTER

FT: And that's all. Arsenal seduced Leicester with two magnificent goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the second half. The striker will make the headlines, but Mesut Ozil and Hector Bellerin have been incredible tonight. The German wins the MOTM prize if you ask me.

Arsenal have won 10 consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since October 2007 (12 of 12).

92: Oh, it's Arsène Wenger's birthday today. I forgot to send a card, but I'm going to dedicate tonight's blog to the legendary Frenchman.

90: Three minutes of extra time while Rachid Ghezzal, who was a marvel of a week in my terrible FPL team, has a mile length. Almost got out the corner flag with that one.

88: Eyes in the air! No wonder Leicester looks like playing with a man less … that's right! The Foxes made the three substitutions but Jamie Vardy took the tunnel after a brief conversation with Claude Puel. Stomach pain or injury maybe?

85: Arsenal engraving in Leicester as a knife burning in butter. Iwobi chooses Lacazette at the far post but the French take it to him. Large.

83: Alan Smith, legend of Arsenal, still does not know if Arsenal are true contenders for the title. He thinks the Gunners still have a lot of trailing behind to rival Manchester City. Liverpool coming in a few weeks … we could see where the Unai Emery game really is.

80: What a reception for Mesut Ozil, who receives a standing ovation for his efforts tonight. Maybe Unai Emery will give him the captain's armband permanently? Aaron Ramsey intervenes for the last 10 minutes.

78: Close! He should be 4-1 and Alexandre Lacazette's name on the scoresheet. Ozil slips in front of his marker and puts it on a plate for the Frenchman who strikes squarely at Schmeichel.

75: Leicester has staged a bit of revival in the last few minutes, but it may be more attributable to the management of the Arsenal game.

72: Apparently, six substitutes have achieved hat tricks in the history of the Premier League: Solskjaer against Forest, Hasselbaink against Wolves, Earnshaw against Charlton, Adebayor against Derby, Lukaku against Man Utd and S. Naismith against Norwich. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will he be the number seven ?!

70: James Maddison is replaced by Shinji Okazaki for the last 20 minutes.

69: Arsenal have scored more goals in the Premier League through substitutes this season compared to other teams (6).

68: Pereira, who had booked, goes to Ghezzal.

ARSENAL 3-1 LEICESTER | AUBAMEYANG

65: Oh, be nice … Arsenal pulled out Leicester in less than three minutes. And this one could be the best of the lot.

It's Arsenal's champagne football and his irresistible approaching game that ends with Mesut Ozil putting the ball on a plate for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang that turns into an empty net.

I suspect it will be a game, a set and a match. Gunners are on their way to a 10th consecutive victory in all competitions.

ARSENAL 2-1 LEICESTER | AUBAMEYANG

63: According to Alan Partridge, it was a textbook. Arsenal reversed the trend with another clear and clinical goal.

Substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who only played 60 seconds on the pitch, hit the center of Hector Bellerin's cross and the emirate is alive.

62: Changes. Three changes to be precise. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is replaced by Matteo Guendouzi, while Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang replaces Stephan Lichtsteiner. Claude Puel also brings a change by replacing Kelechi Iheanacho by Marc Albrighton.

60: We have just passed the time and we are not yet close to a winner at Emirates. Arsenal has all the possession but Leicester still looks dangerous on rest. Delicately laid.

59: woodwork! Leicester is close to taking the lead when Wilfried Ndidi strikes James Maddison's corner against the crossbar.

56: Leicester is doing his best to disrupt Arsenal with hoofs on the field and some tough challenges – but the Gunners are still coming! Arsenal relentless.

54: Suicidal in defense! Ndidi plays a ridiculously insufficient backpass to Schmeichel and Lacazette leaps. The Frenchman turns and turns before finding Mkhitaryan on the spot.

Arsenal starting from the forefoot, Leicester having looked shaken.

51: Jamie Vardy expresses something extremely ugly while Mesut Ozil lets himself be swept along by his challenge. Granite Xhaka stands on a free kick from the right … whitened by Amartey.

48: James Maddison takes a shot at Granite Xhaka's ribs as the Arsenal star moves away. Certainly not intentional in my opinion, and the referee Chris Kavanagh.

ARSENAL 1-1 LEICESTER

45: And we're back, guys. Neither party has brought change, although I expect to see Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at some point in the near future.

Twitter Tour

Eddie: Classy equalizer of Mesut Ozil. So nonchalant stroking the cup of Hector Bellerin for the purpose of Leicester. Wonderful.

Karl: I silenced for a while with this goal, but still, I have supported Arsenal since 88/89 and I never thought I would see us with a choice of captain as pitiful and confusing.

Alan: Honestly, Alex Iwobi under Unai Emery makes a huge difference. He became more confident and efficient. He is one of our best players easily.

Gal: Certainly we have been mediocre in the first half, but when we go, we are the most aesthetic player in the league!

I am happy to hear that you are one of the most aesthetic players in the Premier League, Gal. Would not you rather win?

ARSENAL 1-1 LEICESTER

HT: Tell me it's not planned for a second of a second ??! We are tied here at the Emirates Stadium, while Chris Kavanagh gives a whistle. Leicester was better, but Arsenal was able to capitalize on a late run thanks to a fine finish, Mesut Ozil.

45: Mesut Ozil has scored three goals in his last four appearances in the Premier League, as much as he scored 22 in the previous competition.

ARSENAL 1-1 LEICESTER | OZIL

44: It's now an icy finish from Mesut Ozil to equalize for Arsenal before the break. If you listen carefully, you can hear the keyboard warriors furiously erase their negative tweets.

It's a great team goal from the Gunners. Hector Bellerin chooses Ozil in the penalty area on the right. The German dives clearly behind Kasper Schmeichel with a beautiful first performance.

We now have a game in our hands!

42: Beautiful Arsenal football. Iwobi, Mkhitaryan and Lacazette join forces to pass the Nigerian winger but Schmeichel manages to put his efforts together in an acute angle.

39: Torreira wins another free kick for Arsenal about 25 yards from the goal when he crushes the ground under a tackle from Maddison. Everything becomes dizzy here. Xhaka takes responsibility again but sends it.

36: Granite Xhaka fouls James Maddison near the center line and takes a yellow card. Death, taxes … you know the rest.

34: The FPL's twitter account attributed the goal to Hector Bellerin, his friends. Anyway, Arsenal responds almost instantly to Granit Xhaka on a free kick just above the bar.

ARSENAL 0-1 LEICESTER | BELLERIN OG

31: breakthrough! Leicester is entitled to a bit of luck – but it's worth the balance of the game and this decision to repair.

Ben Chilwell, who signed a new contract this week, gets Wilfried Ndidi's pass on top and deviated center deviates from Hector Bellerin and Leno.

It was a cross and not a shot – so will probably fall like an OG Bellerin once the dubious goal board takes a look!

30: Mustafi lives dangerously by pushing Maddison to the ground in the middle of the field. Chris Kavanagh let the game go on before pulling the German aside for what will surely have been his last warning.

Pereira squirms on the right before pulling a low cross that evokes Jamie Vardy's toes.

27: Wooooosh! He was terribly silent tonight but Alexandre Lacazette almost rattled the net with a thunderous effort from a distance. Hit pretty well, just need to keep it to a minimum.

24: Arsenal pressure. Bellerin wins the corner at the bottom of the sideline before Maguire uses the header too big to score clearly.

Incidentally, Claude Puel is furious that his team was not sanctioned. He was in the fourth official's ear to make his point of view clear.

21: Should be 1-0. I can not believe no. James Maddison passes over Arsenal's static defense and Harry Maguire has a free header at the back post. He sends it through Leno but the plug manages the directions of the switch and tilts it widely. All Leicester right now. Arsenal on the ropes.

18: Holding wins the first reservation of the evening, it is not an honor to have sent Iheanacho to the break. Leicester takes a free kick in the penalty area where Holding seems to have used his arm.

Seeing the rebroadcast … Yesit should have been a penalty. The rear center had his arm raised and was connected to a looped head.

15: Ouch! Xhaka is fortunate to avoid a reservation by dropping Maddison, who spun him inside and out. The Leicester playmaker takes the piece himself but stops it over the crossbar.

13: Lichtsteiner decides that there is simply no option for the future, so decides to place it in orbit at about thirty meters. I probably would not try again, Stephan.

11: Alex Iwobi tries to fight his way inside and gives the ball to Alexandre Lacazette, but he shows the ball to Amartey too much. Happy to see Iwobi progress under Unai Emery – he seemed to stagnate with Arsene Wenger.

8: Penalty call! Frenzied things here in the Emirates. Arsenal wants a penalty when Amartey and Ozil meet in the box but referee Chris Kavanagh is not interested. Well Named.

5: save! And again, Leicester escapes to breakthrough. Maddison squeaks on the left before attacking Iheanacho. The attacker settles before seeing a curling effort squeeze.

3: Great pressure from Leicester in the early stages. Perhaps with Aubameyang on the bench, Claude Puel's sides are more comfortable pushing higher on the pitch.

Wow! Leicester is about to take the lead within three minutes. Iheanacho catches Lichtsteiner about twenty meters from the position and he rushes to the left flank before cutting in and seeing a deflected shot rise above the crossbar. Rob Holding with the block.

Very early warning for Arsenal.

ARSENAL 0-0 LEICESTER

1: And we left! Good atmosphere for a Monday night in the interior of the Emirates.

Two minutes warning

7:58 p.m.: We are almost on the way, guys. I will accept your predictions. I think that will have objectives. 4-2 at Arsenal, is it just stupid?

Balance – Emery

7:55 p.m.: Unai Emery, head of Arsenal: "We do a lot of tactics and different combinations in every game. The first eleven with Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the players on the bench are important. We can not play with some strikers in matches and we want to balance the midfield to control what we want.

"Leicester is a very good team, close to us in the table and we have to win today, we need to have 90 minutes of competition and keep improving and imposing ourselves every day."

Rezaa: Arsenal will fight tonight with Mesut Ozil in the team. No lift or defensive contribution against a Leicester counterattacker. Aaron Ramsey should have started.

Kyle: Arsenal is still under construction but 9 consecutive wins are sensational after consecutive defeats against Chelsea and City. Arsenal was a joy to watch against Fulham and Emery did a great job up until now. Iwobi, Welbeck and Bellerin improved a lot.

Charles: What an important game for Arsenal … a win tonight is a real sign of our future prosperity … it's going to be tough, Leicester often has our number. The score will be 4-3 … no, 0-0 … 2-0 … 1-2 … 8 … 11? What I'm saying is that I do not know yet whether we are good or bad.

Trust

7:40 p.m.: James Maddison insists that he has always believed that he would make an instant impact in the Premier League.

Around here, that's why I need you to save my fantastic football team tonight, James! The 21-year-old has flourished at the top of the league since his £ 24 million summer move from Norwich.

"I still believe in my own ability, that I can reach that level and have an effect," he said. "I would not use the easy word because you are having really tough opponents, but that 's a progress and a pleasure that I enjoyed.

"I hope that I will be able to keep my form and my good performances and that we will be able to continue doing so for the rest of the season." It's never easy to be a regular at the starting lineup. but I have worked hard in pre-season and my performances have been relatively good, so I think I deserve the start. "

Always wanted him

7:35 p.m.: Unai Emery taking a leaf from Harry "still wanted it" Redknapp's book here. And a lesson from David "we almost signed it" Moyes.

Emery thinks that Alexandre Lacazette can only improve after confessing he tried to sign the attacker while he was at PSG.

The 27-year-old has joined Lyon after scoring 60 goals in his last two campaigns in France, a form that has attracted the attention of Emery, then in charge of PSG, his rival.

Emery worked with Edinson Cavani and Neymar at the Parc des Princes. Kylian Mbappe also moved to the French capital last year.

But the boss of Arsenal refused to compare the attackers – revealing that Lacazette was a target before his transfer to Arsenal.

"These are different players, it's very difficult to compare," said Emery. "But for example, when I arrived at PSG, we thought to sign with Lacazette.

"His quality and characteristics also appealed to PSG and the people who worked there told us:" This player has the quality to play for PSG "when we were there. and it was not the case "Not easy to have the conversation or to sign a Lyon player or PSG for Lyon. It was an option for us. "

Claude questions the powers

19.30: Claude Puel with gentle manners with a blow to the kidneys. Where does this come from ?!

Puel thinks it's too early to qualify the contenders for Arsenal.

Arsenal will be among the top four with the win tonight, but Puel is ready to reserve his judgment on the possibility of winning a first title since 2004.

"We will see, he started with some difficulties and lost the first two games, but after working and playing well to win matches in the Cup, Europa League and Premier League," said Puel. They may have good confidence for the future, but for the title, I do not know. It is only the beginning of the season and the Premier League has a lot of possibilities. "

Wait what ?!

7:25 p.m.: I see that Leicester social media has begun to predict the future.

On Friday, the Foxes' Twitter account released a picture of Jamie Vardy shaking his fist with the words: "Goal. Jamie Vardy. 0-1. "

The tweet was removed quickly – but not fast enough for eagle-eyed Leicester supporters! If this happens, I will ask for the results of tomorrow in the Champions League. £ £

Do not get carried away!

7:20 p.m.: This is the message of Unai Emery, who urged supporters to stay on course.

Since defeating Manchester City and Chelsea in the first two games of the season, Emery has led his new group to win every game.

Arsenal can move two points from the top of the table if he sees the Foxes at Emirates Stadium – but Emery wants to keep things in perspective.

"Manchester City and Chelsea were the first two games," he said. "They are two teams in shape and with two points more than us, their qualities and performances are very very high, but we are also making our way and improving our business.

"We must continue to seek our best individual and collective performance to stay close to them.

"But I tell you: we have to improve in a lot of things now, it's our best target now, do not stop, think and analyze with the players to improve that."

Daniel: I can not wait to see where Arsenal is exactly tonight. Been on a good run but had some favorable games. Expect Leicester to be a more rigorous test, but I think Emery and his teammates will win.

Adam: The first time Arsenal had been playing Monday Night Football for over 12 months! I'm looking forward to seeing Jamie Carragher get rid of a series of 10 consecutive wins!

Fed: Since Jamie Vardy organized this ONE party, he's in crisis. 4-1 tonight.

But it was a hell of a party, Fed.

Team News – Arsenal

7:10 p.m.: Unai Emery made two changes to his side that hit Fulham a few weeks ago.

Mesut Ozil returns to the starting lineup in favor of Danny Welbeck, who goes to the bench. Stephan Lichtsteiner also intervenes for the absence of Nacho Monreal on the left-back.

Not really sure where Monreal OR Sead Kolasinac are. No mention of club injuries … for the moment!

Hello

6:50 p.m.: Oh, I did not see you there …

Welcome to our LIVE the cover of the Premier League as Arsenal hosts Leicester in the UAE.

The football weekend has been pretty interesting. The confrontation between the touch lines of Jose Mourinho was the culminating point of the match. Roy Hodgson's thorny interview was also a delicate and fun time.

Arsenal can move two points to the top of the table and ensure a 10th consecutive win when he sees the Foxes.

So, whether you're on public transport, traveling or having terrible terrestrial TV – I'm ready to keep you informed of the action.
