Trossard fires Gunners to victory in late show
The Straits Times
|September 29, 2024
Leandro Trossard erased the memory of his red card last week with a brilliant performance as Arsenal squandered a two-goal lead at home to Leicester City but struck twice in injury time for a 4-2 win in the English Premier League on Sept 28.

When the Belgian forward's cool finish made it 2-0 to the hosts in first-half stoppage time at the Emirates, it seemed Arsenal might even win by a big enough margin to replace Manchester City as leaders.
However, defender James Justin's double stunned the hosts early in the second half as Leicester, almost non-existent in the opening period, somehow found themselves back at 2-2.
Arsenal peppered the visitors' goal in search of a winner and the winless Leicester's rearguard eventually cracked, as Trossard got on the end of Bukayo Saka's cross to guide his volley towards goal. A heavy deflection off Wilfred Ndidi was attributed as an own goal as the Gunners led 3-2 in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
Kai Havertz then added a fourth with virtually the last kick of the game, as Arsenal moved level with City on 14 points from six games after Pep Guardiola's side drew at Newcastle United earlier.
