Leicester City vs Arsenal Preview Games and History

The most recent match between these clubs was played on August 13, 2022. This match took place at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal threw a home-ground party they can be proud of after the entire squad performed well, dominating the game from start to finish. Despite having some control of the ball, Leicester simply could not deal with the Arsenal onslaught, which completely broke any hopes of gaining ground in the game.

The visitors managed to get possession of the ball in their favor. But it was only by the narrowest of margins. Worse, they were unable to turn that 51% into an attacking advantage. For their part, the Gunners who had the ball 49% of the time consolidated their position over and over again.

Nevertheless, the Foxes were not all bad in their performance, which was actually quite good, with their passes hitting an accuracy of 81%. Still, the Gunners managed to eek ahead here and achieved 83% accuracy in their passes.

Leicester only managed to break through the defensive lines on a couple of occasions to create two direct shots at the goal, of which they would only manage to score one. Arsenal, in turn, would get seven shots on goal, and four of them would end up rattling the rival’s net.

As for how the scoring unfurled, that would start with Arsenal unleashing a pass from Xhaka to Gabriel Jesús in minute 23, resulting in the Brazilian’s first goal. Later, in the 35th minute, Gabriel Jesús was once again in charge of the scoring, putting the Gunners ahead by two goals and a whole lot of peace of mind in the duel before the break.

On their return, Leicester would get the discount on an own goal by defender William Saliba in the 53rd minute. But the rivals would not stay calm, and Gabriel Jesús would create an assist for midfielder Granit Xhaka to put Leicester City vs Arsenal at 1-3. Then, in the 74th minute, Iheanacho handed the ball over to midfielder James Madison, who would score the second for the foxes.

But the thing did not end there, and in minute 76, Gabriel Jesús, who was having an excellent game with two goals and two assists already, served the ball up for striker Gabriel Martinelli to take a fourth for the locals.
