  EPL: Iheanacho Scores In Leicester Win As Arsenal Held By Burnley By Omolagba Oluwayemi Daniel Amartey scored a late winner as Leicester City came from behind to beat Brighton and boost their bid for Champions League qualification, BSNSports.com.ng reports. The defender stooped low to head into an empty net after Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez failed to claim Marc Albrighton's corner. Kelechi Iheanacho began the fightback with his second goal in as many games. https://twitter.com/Blues_Dman/status/1368313205701935114?s=19   He cancelled out Adam Lallana's first Brighton goal, which ended a 503-day drought without scoring. Victory lifted Leicester above Manchester United and into second place in the Premier League, while extending their unbeaten away run to 10 league games. Brighton remain three points above the relegation zone in 16th. Arsenal were denied victory by the woodwork, some heroic Burnley defending and the video assistant referee amid a dramatic late onslaught as Granit Xhaka's error ultimately cost the Gunners dear. After Xhaka's errant pass struck Chris Wood for a bizarre equaliser to cancel out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's opener, Arsenal piled on relentless pressure in the closing stages. The Gunners thought they had been awarded a penalty against Erik Pieters but the spot-kick and the defender's red card for deliberate handball were overturned by VAR after replays showed he had diverted Nicolas Pepe's shot onto the bar with his shoulder. That was not the end of the late drama as Ben Mee's block denied Aubameyang a sure-fire winner in stoppage time before Dani Ceballos crashed an effort against the post with almost the last kick of the game.
