Martinelli's goal leads Arsenal to hard-fought victory over Leicester City. (Leicester City vs Arsenal)

Arsenal claimed a crucial 1-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium to maintain their push for the Premier League title. The win also opened up a temporary five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the table.

The hero of the day was Gabriel Martinelli, who bounced back from a rough patch to score seconds after the restart, securing Arsenal's 10th away victory in 13 games this season. The Gunners had a frustrating first half, with VAR disallowing a goal by Leandro Trossard due to a foul on the goalkeeper.

However, the second half saw a different Arsenal side take the field. Martinelli's goal gave the visitors the momentum they needed to take control of the game and secure the victory. The team's newfound ability to grind out a win, even when their star players are not at their best, is extremely impressive.

For Leicester, the performance was not too concerning, as they stayed in the game with the best team in the country. However, their consistent inability to gain points without James Maddison, who missed out with illness, will be a cause for concern. The Foxes will target an away win at bottom-of-the-table Southampton next time out to maintain their cushion above the relegation zone.

Arsenal will now look ahead to two home games against Everton and Bournemouth as they hope to maintain their push for their first title in two decades.
