For Arsenal, it had to be from a corner and after the week that had gone, it had to be Leandro Trossard who made the difference. The fall-out from last Sunday’s explosive 2-2 draw at Manchester City had raged, a prominent talking point, the moment which shaped Arsenal’s darkly impressive rearguard action being Trossard’s second yellow card for kicking the ball away. Here, he rescued his team.

It looked like being a story of Arsenal throwing away two points from a winning position for the third time this season. That, and a sensational second-half goalscoring cameo by the Leicester right-back, James Justin, plus the defiance of the goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen.
