Arsenal scored third goal in Leicester City win after 'blatant handball' missed as Foxes manager Craig Shakespeare says he is 'disappointed' by decision

Arsenal's third goal in their comeback win over Leicester City should not have stood after a 'blatant handball' was missed in the build-up, says Jamie Carragher.

The Gunners came from behind twice to beat Leicester 4-3 in the Premier League's 2017-18 season opener, with Aaron Ramsey making it 3-3 after a corner, before Olivier Giroud scored the winner.

However Mesut Ozil won the corner after controlling the ball with his arm in the build-up, and was unpenalised despite referee Mike Dean having a clear view of the incident.
