Arsenal vs. Leicester City - Football Match Report - July 7, 2020 - ESPN

VAR took centre stage again as Jamie Vardy scored late to earn Leicester a 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

The Gunners saw Edward Nketiah sent off following a VAR review, before Vardy levelled with a length delay for possible offside.

Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho had early chances as Leicester started well, but it was Arsenal who took the lead in the 21st minute thanks to a wonderful piece of play from Bukayo Saka. The England under-19 international was fleet of foot to open up Leicester, wrong-footing Johnny Evans to lay on a simple chance for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to score.
