Trossard Shines as Arsenal Overcomes Leicester in 4-2 Thriller

Posted : 28 September 2024

Leandro Trossard put his recent red card behind him, playing a pivotal role in Arsenal's thrilling 4-2 victory over Leicester City in the Premier League. After Arsenal had surprisingly surrendered a two-goal advantage, Trossard's contributions proved crucial. He opened the scoring with a well-placed shot just before halftime and later had a hand in restoring the lead with a shot that deflected off Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi in stoppage time, sealing a vital win that brought Arsenal level on points with league leaders Manchester City.

 

Trossard’s first goal gave Arsenal a promising 2-0 lead, suggesting they could extend their advantage even further, especially after Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Newcastle. However, Leicester stunned the hosts by equalizing with two goals from James Justin, the second being a remarkable volley that brought the game back to 2-2. This response from Leicester came after a lackluster first half, showing their resilience and ability to capitalize on Arsenal's defensive lapses.

 

Despite a shaky performance, Arsenal continued to press for a winner, and their efforts eventually paid off. Trossard found the net again after connecting with a corner from Bukayo Saka, although the goal was later attributed to Ndidi as an own goal, a decision that left Arsenal questioning the ruling. This match served as a vital redemption for Trossard, who had missed the League Cup victory earlier in the week due to suspension. It also marked a significant moment for Gabriel Martinelli, whose goal and assist highlighted his return to form after a prolonged dry spell.

 

Leicester’s manager, Steve Cooper, acknowledged the positives despite the loss, noting that his team fought hard to earn a point and praised their goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen, for several key saves. Cooper emphasized the importance of maintaining momentum and building on the aspects that worked well. Meanwhile, Arsenal's head coach, Mikel Arteta, expressed his satisfaction with the team's response to adversity, underscoring the emotional rollercoaster of the match and reaffirming the spirit of his squad to keep pushing for victory until the final whistle.
