Arsenal celebrated their return to Premier League action with a 2-0 win away at Leicester. It is the perfect response from the Gunners following their desperately disappointing Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle as they have cut the gap to leaders Liverpool to four points.
While their performance for much of the game against the Foxes, Mikel Arteta made a second half substitution that turned out to be a masterstroke. Mikel Merino replaced Raheem Sterling with around 20 minutes to go and took up an unfamiliar role as a centre-forward. The Spaniard then scored twice in the space of six minutes to secure a huge win for Arsenal.
