Arsenal have been dealt a massive blow in their hopes to qualify for the Champions League after they were forced o a 1-1 draw at the Emirates by Leicester.
Leicester missed the services of key players including Madison, Chilwell and Pereira all who were not part of the Tuesday night, July 7, league meeting.
The absence of the trio saw the Foxes labour through the match as Arsenal dominated proceedings from the blow of the whistle.
The hosts went on to take an early lead in the 21st minute through Aubameyang, who slotted home from eight yards thanks to Saka’s beautiful build-up.
Saka had a chance to double the lead four minutes later from Aubameyang’s cross but Soyuncu slid in to prevent the teenager from reaching for the ball.
The restart saw Jamie Vardy nearly draw Leicester level but iOS effort was blocked by David Luiz.
The closing stages of the encounter was full of dramatic scenes as Eddie Nketiah was sent off 15 minutes to time after picking a second yellow after fouling Justin.
Leicester took advantage of Arsenal’s numerical deficiency to equalise five minutes to stoppage time through Vardy who turned into the net from close range to make it 1-1.
The match eventually finished in a stalemate with both sides sharing the spoils.
The result leaves Arsenal sitting seventh on the charts with points, five behind fifth-placed Man United who still have a match to play.
Leicester are fourth, having given up third place to Chelsea who beat Crystal Palace 3-2 earlier on.
