MIKEL ARTETA hailed his side for showing “courage” after Arsenal beat Leicester City 3-1 at Filbert Street on Sunday lunchtime.
In glorious late winter sunshine, the Foxes went ahead through an early Youri Tielemans strike — which was cancelled out by a David Luiz header and Alex Lacazette’s penalty moments before the interval, before a Nicolas Pepe goal after the break sealed the comeback.
Arsenal made six changes from the dramatic 3-2 victory over Benfica on Thursday evening. Hero Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was benched and in the captain’s place came Lacazette with the armband.
