Arsenal today went back to a five-point lead in the Premier League title race as they shoved Leicester City with a 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium.
Gabriel Martinelli scored the game’s only goal a minute into the second half to open up a five-point gap on second-placed Manchester City.
With this, the gunners have recovered with two straight victories following a four match winless run earlier this month.
“We create more belief in and around the club. I had full faith that the players could do it come back from recent defeats” Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said.
For the lone goal, Trossard played a neat ball through to Martinelli who controlled and slotted past Ward.
Host Leicester City, without the James Maddison in midfield due to illness, never got going in the match and failed to get a shot on target.
“They were clearly better than us,” Leicester coach Brendan Rodgers said. “We were too passive when we had the ball, we weren’t quick enough with it.
“When we got to the final third we could not find that last pass. They are at the top of the league for a reason, and I thought they showed that.”
