GABRIEL MARTINELLI’S 46th-minute goal was enough to seal a vital 1-0 victory for Arsenal over Leicester City on Saturday and maintain their two-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

With the Gunners’ game in hand against Everton looming at Ashburton Grove on Wednesday, manager Mikel Arteta’s side have the opportunity to fully banish their recent wobbles — a winless three-game run that included a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park in Everton boss’s Sean Dyche’s first game in charge.

Defeated Foxes’ boss Brendan Rodgers was certainly honest in his assessment after the match, conceding: “[Arsenal] are top of the league for a reason and I think they showed that.”
