PL: Merino Proves To Be Arsenal’s Unlikely Hero In 2-0 Win Over Leicester City
King Power Stadium: Mikel Merino threw his name into contention for the available striker spot as the Spaniard came on as a late substitute and scored two goals to lead Arsenal to a 2-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
With Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli all out of contention with respective injuries, the Gunners started the game with Raheem Sterling, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri as their front three.
It resulted in a toothless display with Arsenal failing to create chances and opportunities in the Leicester box. Sterling in particular was quite poor showing displays of rust.
