‘Genuine intent’ – Sutton & Lineker react after Arsenal striker was sent off last night
10-man Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium last night, with Jamie Vardy’s 84th-minute equalizer cancelling out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 21st-minute opener. The Gunners were looking to make it four straight Premier League victories and boost their chances of playing in the Champions League next term, but a red card to Eddie Nketiah with 15 minutes remaining proved costly in the end. The young striker replaced Alexandre Lacazette as manager Mikel Arteta looked to add fresh legs to his attack and find another goal, but he lasted just four minutes on the pitch and didn’t even touch the ball before he was sent off following a high challenge on Leicester’s right-back James Justin. While Arteta agreed that it was the right call to send off the Arsenal...
