“We should have won the game, but he was all over the field…” It is terrible that Arteta does not know how to employ such a brilliant talent.” Leicester coach claims his club has never faced a player like the £58 million Arsenal player in his whole career and hails the superstar.
Steve Cooper praises about Leandro Trossard in Arsenal’s victory against Leicester City.
Arsenal remained undefeated in the Premier League after defeating Leicester City 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gunners were cruising to win at one point, leading 2-0. However, Leicester City mounted a spectacular comeback to tie the game at 2-2, and it appeared like they would secure an unexpected point.
However, two late goals in stoppage time clinched the draw for Arsenal. Leandro Trossard seemed to score the third goal, which was ruled an own goal, and Kai Havertz scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time to deprive the Foxes a point.
The Gunners’ Gabriel Martinelli started the scoring, and Trossard added the second goal.
Rio Ferdinand was immensely delighted with Trossard and thought he was “worth every penny”.
Arsenal purchased Trossard from Brighton for £27 million in 2023, and he has shown to be an excellent addition to Mikel Arteta’s team.
Rio told BBC Sports, “What a buy Leandro Trossard was! It’s worth every cent. A fantastic day if it ends like this.
“Who would have thought Arsenal could score from a set piece? Arsenal simply kept believing. It’s a lucky goal, and ‘lucky Arsenal’ is a good label to have.”
Arsenal scored a stunning win.
As a consequence, Arsenal now has 14 points, tied with Manchester City for first place. Chelsea is third with 13 points, but Liverpool can take first place with a win over Wolves today.
Pat Nevin claimed on BBC Radio that Arsenal deserved to win by a country mile. They shown true character and never gave up.
Under Arteta, the Gunners have become a formidable force, finishing second in the league the past two seasons. They are a strong candidate for the league crown this season, and it’s easy to understand why.
They produced many opportunities and applied significant pressure with corners at the back post before scoring. It was not a beautiful win for the Gunners, but they would take the three points any day.
