Arsenal's English team narrowly defeated their guest Leicester City with four goals to two in the sixth round of the English Premier League on Saturday evening.

Arsenal took the lead with a goal from Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli after 20 minutes, benefiting from a pass from his Dutch teammate Jurien Timber.

In the first minute of stoppage time, the scenario repeated itself with a second goal scored by Leandro Trossard after a pass from Martinelli, but Leicester City turned the tables on Arsenal amidst their fans at the Emirates Stadium in the second half, as James Justin scored two goals in the 47th and 63rd minutes.

Arsenal benefited from the stumble of the defending champions Manchester City, who drew 1 / 1 with Newcastle United earlier on Saturday, but Manchester City is ahead on goal difference.

Arsenal snatched the victory with two goals in stoppage time, as Belgian Leandro Trossard scored in the 94th minute, and Kai Havertz completed the four goals in the 99th minute, raising the "Gunners" to 14 points, equal with the league leaders Manchester City, while Leicester City continued to struggle and remains winless since the start of the competition, stuck at three points from three draws, sitting in the sixteenth position.
