    GOAL! Leicester 2-0 Arsenal: Vardy seals the game for Leicester with a typical goal! Arsenal are undone by a simple kick out from Schmeichel, Vardy is on his toes to latch onto it. He lifts it over the top of Leno but the ball bounces off the crossbar but he's well positioned to head home the follow-up.

    Arsenal would jump into fourth with a draw, but only on goal difference ahead of Chelsea versus Manchester United. But as it stands, it looks unlikely Emery's side will get a point today.
