Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Leicester City was crucial for keeping their Premier League title hopes alive. With Kai Havertz sidelined due to a hamstring injury, Mikel Arteta had to make adjustments in the attack. Despite Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard, and Ethan Nwaneri leading the charge, they struggled to find the back of the net.
However, Arteta’s decision to bring on Mikel Merino to play as a false nine proved to be the game-changer. Merino scored both goals in quick succession—first with a header off Nwaneri’s cross and then with a tap-in from Trossard’s pass.
The win moves Arsenal up to 53 points, keeping them in the race, though they’re still four points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a match against Wolves on Sunday.
Looks like Arsenal’s title pursuit is heating up! Do you think they can close the gap with Liverpool?
