EPL: Iheanacho Caged, Ndidi Silenced As Gunners Shoot Down Foxes


EPL:
  Wilfred Ndidi conceded a penalty as Arsenal fightback to beat Leicester City 3-1 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon, BSNSports.com.ng. Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans put the hosts ahead in the sixth minute with a good finish into bottom left corner. The visitors levelled through David Luiz’s clever header from a Willian free-kick in the 39th minute. Arsenal were awarded a penalty late in the first half after Nicolas Pepe’s cross struck Ndidi’s hand in the box and Alexandre Lacazette duly slotted the ball home. Pepe extended Arsenal’s lead with a simple close-range finish in the 52nd minute. Iheanacho would be especially disappointed after missing a glorious chance to reduce the deficit for the hosts deep into stoppage time. The Nigerian forward has only managed one goal in 13 Premier League matches for the Foxes this term. He, however, scored three times in the Europa League group stages.
