After keeping out Arsenal in the early part of the game, Leicester conceded the first goal as Gabriel Martinelli latched on to a low cross by Julien Timber.
The Gunners then went 2-0 up one minute into first half stoppage time as Justin’s header from a free kick came off Kai Havertz ended inside the net.
Justin then completed the comeback as he hit a one-time volley after connecting to a well floated cross from Ndidi.
The Gunners poured forward in search of the winning goal and got their reward in the 94th minute as Trossard’s strike from a corner kick by Saka was helped in by Ndidi to make it 3-2.
Then in the 99th minute Arsenal got their fourth goal thanks to Havertz who saw the ball come off his leg after a Leicester player tried to clear the ball, after his goalkeeper had initially stopped a Gabriel Jesus low shot.
The win saw Arsenal occupy third spot on 14 points, same points as second placed Manchester City who were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.

I have criticized Ndidi severally as a DM. I never knew he is much More creative than Iwobi. Iwobi cannot dribble a rat ONE V ONE NDIDI NA BALLER.
Both of them- Ndidi and Iwobi are average players. I see both of them been replaced in SE midfield by Dele- Bashiru and Sam Onyedika. The two are more adapted to SE style of fast, quick and swift attack. The former duo are too slow and can’t strike shots at goal and score goals.
Did you watch the game? He was outstanding for Leicester. They probably scored him average bcos of the deflection that led to the own goal.
LOL! How long have I been telling you people about Iwobi?
Let’s just draft Victor Moses back in jejely and the likes of Iwobi and Chukwueze will become things of the past – either they take “early retirement” or we sack then. No long thing. Ose.
