Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho both played 90 minutes for Leicester City but could only watch as Arsenal came from behind to grab a deserved 3-1 win over the UEFA Champions League hopefuls in the English Premier League on Sunday. The Foxes had gone ahead early in the encounter but the ruthless Gunners grabbed the maximum points at the King Power Stadium.
VAR adjudged Ndidi had blocked Nicolas Pepe’s shot in the box with an outstretched arm and handed the Gunners a penalty, which Alexandre Lacazette converted for the visitors second goal of the match.
