Arsenal’s ball control rate is completely superior to the host Leicester when holding the ball 76%, Leicester only know how to cluster in the home field to defend once morest Arsenal’s close phases.
Despite controlling most of the time, the Gunners might not create any dangerous situations. It took until the 26th minute for Arsenal fans to celebrate. From the corner situation, Leicester’s goalkeeper tried to punch the ball, the ball reached Trossard’s feet, the Arsenal striker hit a powerful shot, not giving Leicester goalkeeper Ward the opportunity to save. After consulting VAR, the referee denied the Gunners goal because Ben White had fouled goalkeeper Ward earlier.
