Arsenal moved level on points with Manchester City thanks to a last-gasp 4-2 win against Leicester City on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium.

Gabriel Martinelli put Arsenal ahead in the 20th minute with his first goal this season, the Brazilian winger drilling a low finish inside the far post from Jurrien Timber's cross.

Martinelli turned provider on the stroke of half-time, setting up Leandro Trossard to stroke in Arsenal's second goal.

James Justin reduced the deficit with a deflected 47th-minute effort and stunned the Emirates Stadium into silence in the 63rd minute when his thunderous volley cannoned in off the woodwork.

But Mikel Arteta's men grabbed the points four minutes into stoppage-time when Trossard's shot deflected off Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi for an own goal, with Kai Havertz netting moments later to confirm the victory.
