BREAKING NEWS: Leicester City’s coach expressed frustration after his team’s match against Arsenal, stating, “We would have won the game if he hadn’t been all over the field. It’s unfortunate that Arteta doesn’t know how to utilize such a fantastic player.” He praised the £58 million Arsenal star, noting that he has never faced a player of that caliber in his entire career. The coach emphasized the player’s impact on the game, highlighting his exceptional talent and versatility.

Steve Cooper praised Leandro Trossard following Arsenal’s thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League. This win marked Arsenal’s continued unbeaten run, showcasing their resilience after initially leading 2-0. Leicester mounted a commendable comeback, leveling the score at 2-2 and threatening to secure a point. However, Arsenal responded with two late goals during stoppage time, sealing the victory.

Although Trossard appeared to score the third goal, it was officially recorded as an own goal. Kai Havertz then netted a decisive goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time, ensuring that Leicester left empty-handed. Gabriel Martinelli had opened the scoring, while Trossard played a crucial role by netting the second goal, highlighting his importance in Arsenal’s attacking play.

Football pundit Rio Ferdinand expressed admiration for Trossard’s impact. He told BBC Sports that Arsenal’s decision to sign the Belgian winger was brilliant, emphasizing that he was “worth every penny.” Acquired from Brighton for £27 million in 2023, Trossard has proven to be a valuable asset for Mikel Arteta’s team.

Ferdinand noted Trossard’s knack for influencing games at critical moments, stating, “What a buy Leandro Trossard was! Worth every penny. It’s a perfect day if it ends like this. Arsenal scored from a set-piece—who’d believe it? They just kept believing. It’s a lucky goal, and ‘lucky Arsenal’ is a nice label to have.”

This dramatic victory not only boosted Arsenal’s morale but also brought them level on points with Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with both teams having 14 points. Chelsea closely follows in third with 13 points, while Liverpool had a chance to surpass both with a win against Wolves later that day.

Pat Nevin, speaking on BBC Radio, echoed the sentiment that Arsenal thoroughly deserved their victory, asserting that they were far superior to Leicester. He highlighted their character and determination, especially when the match appeared to be slipping away.

Under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has evolved into one of the Premier League’s strongest teams, having finished second in the previous two seasons. They are again viewed as serious title contenders, and their performance against Leicester showcased their potential. Throughout the match, Arsenal created numerous chances and maintained relentless pressure, particularly from set-pieces. While the victory may not have been flawless, Arsenal will eagerly accept the three points as they continue their title pursuit.
