Gabriel, Sanchez and more: Arsenal stars celebrate Leicester win on Twitter

Leicester score first but Arsenal tied it in the second half at 70′.

“It is true that sometimes the less time you have to wait for the next game, the better it is”. “Now we are enjoying it”.

“We are staying up”, Leicester fans responded ironically.

Within 45 minutes, it was as if Leicester would leave the Emirate with their five point lead over Arsenal.

While Arsenal protested against the call, Vardy dusted himself off to send Cech the wrong way and send the title favourites in at half-time with the lead. Normally by February these surprise packages would have lost at least 5 games, Leicester on the other hand have only lost two games all season against Arsenal and Liverpool.

But though they now admit they are in the title race, striker Leonardo Ulloa says they are not getting carried away.

“When they are playing in the cups we will go to the sea, make some swimming and sit in the sunshine”.

“It is part of our spirit”.

“It was a mental test for us”, Wenger said.

The Gunners take on Claudio Ranieri’s side at the Emirates, in what is set to be a huge decider on who will win the title come the end of the season.

And it was the England forward who struck to level the game, finishing coolly from Giroud’s knock-down to convert Arsenal’s first shot on target of the afternoon. Leicester will not have Matty James (knee) and Jeffrey Schlupp (thigh) as they didn’t play in the previous weeks because of injury. “We are a team”. I planned at the start, when I made my press conference on Friday morning, to play him next week.

One thing that Leicester absolutely do not rely upon is possession of the football. I also hope Kelechi Iheanacho gets some minutes as well.

After 15 minutes of incessant pressure, another substitute Theo Walcott nearly inevitably smashed in the equaliser but Leicester still looked ready to celebrate a victory of sorts after they held out stoically and Arsenal wasted a series of chances until deep into injury time.

But there is more to them than just that.

De Gea then failed to deal with Lamine Kone’s powerful header eight minutes from time, deflecting the ball over the line to leave United six points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.

They went on to win 7 of their last 10 games, losing just twice and finished 14th with a remarkable haul of 41 points, despite the odds being heavily stacked against them.

Bournemouth play Stoke, Crystal Palace are at home to Watford and Everton play West Brom, while Swansea meet Southampton in the weekend’s other match.
