Arsenal ratings: Zinchenko 8/10 and Martinelli 7/10 help Gunners dominate Leicester

Arsenal maintained momentum in the Premier League title race as they secured a 1-0 win against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The challenge for Mikel Arteta's side was clear from the outset as the Foxes were happy to concede possession and sit back.

The Gunners had the ball in the net courtesy of Leandro Trossard's whipped effort into the top corner in the 29th minute, only for VAR's intervention to call the referee's attention to Ben White's foul on goalkeeper Danny Ward.

Arsenal enjoyed 74% of possession in the first half, but it was a long-ball and precise pass from Trossard that found Gabriel Martinelli just moments after the restart and his finish was just as impressive as the assist.
