Arsenal vs Leicester LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Lacazette penalty and Partey goal

50 mins: Great play from Arsenal. Lovely link up between Lacazette and Odegaard on the halfway line leads to Martinelli racing around the outside of Pereira. He cut it back to Lacazette but the ball didn’t sit right, so Tierney’s cross then picked out Saka. Schmeichel does well to beat the ball clear after Saka’s volley was hit into the ground.

49 mins: Xhaka bizarrely catches the ball as it drifted over his head and out of play, leading to a Leicester free kick.

47 mins: White meets a cross to flick a header towards goal but it drifts wide. Odegaard was heavily involved with a cute pass inside.

Back underway - no changes at the break.

The players are in the tunnel at the Emirates. Second half coming up shortly.

Arsenal lead through Thomas Partey’s head after Leicester conceded from yet another set-piece situation. The Gunners were worthy of their lead and played some lovely football in the opening 30 minutes but Leicester responded well and grew into the game. Arsenal would have been happy for the half-time whistle to come and Leicester were denied an equaliser when Aaron Ramsdale produced an excellent stop to keep out a Harvey Barnes header from close range.

43 mins: Saka almost gets played in following long pass, but Thomas gets back to get an important touch on it. Arsenal have only really been able to threaten with direct passes over the last 15-20 minutes.

38 mins: Leicester are growing in confidence now. Maddison fires in an excellent ball that was just begging for a touch, but Cedric is there to clear up at the back post.

35 mins: Great save! Ramsdale flicks out an outstretched arm to deny Barnes’ header. A loose moment from Gabriel and Martinelli handed Leicester a corner. The first set-piece leads to another corner, where Albrighton’s angled ball found Barnes. But that’s an excellent save from Ramsdale. ‘Wow’ mouths Rodgers.

32 mins: The pace of the match has dropped slightly after that brief stoppage. Odegaard gets the home fans off their seats as he skips past a Leicester challenge in his half, but his pass towards Saka just runs out of play out on the wing. The Norwegian is having an excellent game, though.
