Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at King Power Stadium. Leicester City FC are looking to make home advantage count against Arsenal FC.
  • 5' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Arsenal FC that had 414 games and scored 725 goals.
  • 6' Youri Tielemans puts Leicester City FC on the lead.
  • 11' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
  • 16' The home supporters are growing impatient. Leicester City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 21' Ricardo Pereira has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 23 cards already picked up this season.
  • 26' Martin Odegaard, a Norway , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 31' The energy levels are beginning to show. Brendan Rodgers might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 36' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Willian suffering a number of foals already.
  • 38' Luke Thomas is having his name booked by the referee on 38.
  • 39' David Luiz does the damage! The net is bulging and Arsenal FC surge ahead!
  • 42' Martin Odegaard has so much to prove this time. He replaces Emile Smith Rowe on 42 minute.
  • 46' Leicester City FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Marc Albrighton is hanging Luke Thomas on the field on 46 minute.
  • 47' with the perfectly-timed delivery and Alexandre Lacazette makes no mistake. 1-2!
  • 51' The supporters are chanting for Cengiz Under. He replaces Harvey Barnes on 51 minute.
  • 52' Nicolas Pepe adds to his 2 season tally! Arsenal FC lead 1-3 — and this changes everything.
  • 57' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 62' The 34-year-old Bernd Leno has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 66' Another substitution for Arsenal FC to replace Mohamed El Neny by Thomas Partey on 66 minute.
  • 69' The whistle greets Jonny Evans as he departs to be replaced by Daniel Amartey.
  • 72' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Youri Tielemans.
  • 77' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 82' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 84' The supporters are chanting for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He replaces Alexandre Lacazette on 84 minute.
  • 89' Over 89 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 90' Kieran Tierney has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 90.
  • The points are shared — Leicester City FC 1-3 Arsenal FC. Honours even.
