Arsenal came back from a goal down to win 3-1 against Leicester City with an impressive performance at the King Power Stadium.
Youri Tielemans gave Leicester the lead after just six minutes, but the visitors recovered well and took control of the game.
David Luiz brought the Gunners level when he headed home Willian's free-kick before Alexandre Lacazette put them ahead. He converted from the penalty spot after VAR had ruled that Wilfred Ndidi had blocked Nicolas Pepe's shot with his arm.
Pepe himself then made sure of the win when he tapped home from close range after Willian's through ball deflected into his path.
The victory sees Arsenal climb the table to ninth and they now have West Ham United in their sights in fourth place, while Leicester are in third.
Positives
Once again, Mikel Arteta's men showed great resolve. Just like in midweek against Benfica in the Europa League, Arsenal displayed good character and recovered well after going behind. The Gunners have often been criticised for having a soft underbelly, but they not only survived this early scare, they overcame it to dominate.
