Arsenal, Spurs grab late winners against EPL title rivals

“I think it’s an important game for us and for them (Arsenal)”. The match was full of fouls so why send off a player?

Substitute Danny Welbeck scored an injury-time victor on his first appearance since April 2015 after Jamie Vardy’s disputed penalty put the Foxes ahead before Theo Walcott equalised. As of now, the Gunners trail the league leaders by only 2 points and are strong contenders in the title race.

“The manager gives me advice and tries to make me improve”.

“It has been a roller-coaster for me, a hard moment and my family and friends know what I have been through”.

“Everybody is extremely happy for him, because he has been out for 10 months – that is an eternity for a player”, Wenger said. “That could be massive”. “They didn’t looked like champions but they won the important one”. “That is a great change”.

Betfred’s Mark Pearson summed up Sunday’s drama: “At half-time with Leicester 1-0 up at Arsenal we made them 13-8 title favourites but the day belonged to north London”.

Leicester remain two points clear of Arsenal following the defeat, and have emerged from a tough string of games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal with six points from a possible nine. We are only in a good position, but the league is not finished and we have to keep going.

He told reporters: “Fantastic match, very fast”.

The Foxes were reduced to 10 men after Danny Simpson saw his second yellow on 54 minutes.

Now they must bounce back at home to Norwich City in their next game – but why should we question them after what they have shown us this season?

Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Mathieu Flamini have all shared the same photo on Twitter of the squad celebrating in the dressing room along with messages to their followers, with Rambo taking time to welcome back “DatGuy” Danny Welbeck following his winning goal.

“We are still top of the table – we must carry on and smile”, he said.

Arsenal keeper Petr Cech said: “We had to concentrate in the final stages because any counter-attack was becoming more and more risky as we searched for the victor”.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes his side would have beaten Arsenal had they not been reduced to 10-men following the dismissal of Danny Simpson.

“We had so many half chances where we could have scored more”.

“It was a pivotal moment today because the mathematics meant it could be eight points or it could be two points”, Wenger added.

It ensured Arsenal became the first team to complete the double this season over Leicester, which has only lost three times in the league to gatecrash the elite after narrowly surviving relegation past year.
