Arsenal's Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli scored a fine goal to earn a 1-0 win at Leicester City on Saturday (Feb 25), giving them a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League. Arsenal has now won 10 of its 13 away league games this season, one more than in the whole of last term. It is the fastest it has reached 10 away wins in any league campaign.
Gabriel Martinelli's goal was enough to give the Premier League leaders a hard-fought win at Leicester City. The Brazilian struck in the first minute of the second half, latching on to a deft pass from Leandro Trossard to roll his shot past Danny Ward.
Trossard had a fine first-half goal disallowed after Arsenal's Ben White held Ward in the build-up.
Arsenal lead Manchester City by two points after Pep Guardiola's side beat Bournemouth 4-1 in their Saturday tea-time fixture.
Leicester, who remain 14th, were lacklustre although Kelechi Iheanacho had a goal flagged for offside shortly after Trossard's disallowed effort and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall curled a shot just wide in the second half.
Arsenal's quest for a first league title since 2003-04 appeared to be faltering when they lost 3-1 to City on Feb 15, but they have bounced back with a maximum return of six points from two testing away trips.
