However, in a turn of events during added time, an own goal from Wilfred Ndidi and another mistake from Leicester allowed Arsenal to regain the lead and finish the match at the top of the table. Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 20th minute, marking his first goal of the season with a precise low shot from a Jurrien Timber cross. Just before half-time, Martinelli assisted Leandro Trossard, who calmly slotted in Arsenal's second goal.
Leicester responded after the break, with Justin scoring a deflected shot in the 47th minute, followed by a stunning volley that hit the crossbar and found the net in the 63rd minute, bringing the score to 2-2. Yet, in a thrilling conclusion, Trossard's shot deflected off Ndidi for an own goal four minutes into stoppage time, and shortly after, Kai Havertz added another goal to seal the win for Arsenal.
