Arsenal delivered a hammer blow to Leicester’s faint hopes of winning the Premier League with an impressive fightback to win 3-1.
Mikel Arteta’s side fell behind to Youri Tielemans’ early goal at the King Power Stadium.
They had lost nine of 11 league games when they conceded the opening goal this term.
But David Luiz equalised and Alexandre Lacazette’s penalty gave the Gunners the lead just before half-time.
Nicolas Pepe’s second half goal sealed Arsenal’s second win in their last six league games.
The north Londoners’ stirring escape act left Leicester in third place, trailing leaders Manchester City by 13 points with 12 games remaining.
After Thursday’s shock Europa League exit against Slavia Prague, it was a week to forget for Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.
Arsenal have virtually no chance of finishing in the top four, but this was still a significant result as it underlined the potential in Arteta’s team.
