'No longer a soft touch' - National media react to Arsenal's crucial win vs Leicester

Arsenal secured a vital three points during Saturday afternoon's Premier League clash against Leicester City.

Gabriel Martinelli netted the only goal of the game, breaking the deadlock just after half-time to clinch all three points for his side, who remain two points clear at the top of the table. The Gunners did see two other finishes disallowed, with Leandro Trossard's first-half strike chalked off by VAR after Ben White was adjudged to have fouled Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward.

Martinelli also set up fellow young attacker Bukayo Saka to double the north Londoners' advantage after the break but the Brazilian was marginally offside, setting up a nervy finish at the King Power Stadium. Mikel Arteta's side were ultimately able to come away with all three points and football.london has brought you everything the national media said about the game below.
