A goal in the final ten minutes at the Emirates saw the visiting side snatch all three points in a rather uneventful Premier League match.

Arsenal were forced to walk out empty-handed from their Premier League matchday 6 as they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Leicester City.

The visitors looked dangerous since very early in the match. James Maddison sent an ambitions shot goalwards at the second minute following a weak clearance from the opposition goalkeeper, but the shot went just wide of the near post.

The Gunners also came close to scoring a few times in the first half but none of their attempts found the net.

It was not until the final ten minutes that the deadlock was broken. Too quick to be closed down, Jamie Vardy made a run down the left of the penalty area before heading into the empty net.
